‘Remove Attachments’ Evolution plugin 0.0.2

It’s nice to see that people still like to use the small piece of software which been wrote for 20 months without updated. Thanks for feedback from

  • Uwe, g021030 (at) gmx.net
  • Keith Refson, K.Refson (at) rl.ac.uk

And the others how left the messages on the blog, especially patch from Hank Hampel and encouragement from Dick Dunbar. ;-)

The new release is now handling in-line attachment as well, and it’s autotoolized and debianized.

You can download the tarball and deb file for Debian sid from

evolution-remove-attachments_0.0.2.tar.gz
evolution-remove-attachments_0.0.2_i386.deb
evolution-remove-attachments_0.0.2.dsc
evolution-remove-attachments_0.0.2_i386.changes

They are tested on Debian Sid with Evolution 2.22.

    Rex,

    Thanks for the effort you put in on this. Unfortunately, I can’t install it, because I have 64-bit Ubuntu on all my machines. How simple is it to convert this over to 64-bit? Sorry to be a PITA, but I can’t use it as it is.

    Dick,

    Well, I don’t use Ubuntu with 64-bit platform, so I can not just make another pakcage for you.

    You can easily rebuild the debianized software, it’s only a few commands to rebuild. You can refer to http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rebuilding-ubuntu-debian-linux-binary-package/ for a HOWTO.

    Meanwhile, I have talked to Evolution developer psankar, he will help to review the code, and put it into Evolution source tree. (I hope)

    I will also try ask Debian developer’s sponsor, to upload the package into the repository. Then it can be port to the other platform, like 64-bit.

    Wow, this plug-in is a fantastic evolution in itself. Thank you so much for the easy install… and wow, it works fantastic. That should be included in the default installations of Evolution.

    Thank you so much for this work. It is such a useful utility. I have loads of e-mails that people send me with attachments that I save and then have to clog up my e-mail IMAP server with large mails. This gets round that.

    The ability to delete attachments from e-mails was one of the things I noticed missing when moving from windows (outlook) to Linux.

    Thanks again.

    Chris
