Q: Removing Attachments from Mail in Sierra

Since upgrading to OSX Sierra I and finding that I can no longer 'remove attachments' using the 'Message / Remove attachments' command. Although the attachment is plainly there in the email the option in menu is greyed-out so I can't delete the attachment to save space. Anyone else having this problem or know of a fix?

Mac Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12)

Hi,

I don't know the solution, but a workaround would be to use the new optimize storage utility: Free up storage space on your Mac - Apple Support

Thanks but not really the solution I'm looking for. I try and keep all attachments saved with job they relate to then delete them from mail to keep it from overloading. I've experienced this in the past with various mail programs - after a few years they all get full up and start behaving oddly!
