Similarly how can we select only the last line?

NAME

       claws-mail-attach-remover -- Attachments remover from mails

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the claws-mail-attach-remover

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       claws-mail-attach-remover is a plugin (loadable module) for the Claws Mail mailer.

       Enables	the removal all of attachments from emails.  When right-clicking a message on summary view, choose ``Remove attachments'' from the
       displayed submenu.

USAGE

       Before using a plugin you must instruct Claws Mail to load it on startup.

       For this you must go ``Configuration'' menu on main window toolbar, open ``Plugins...'' dialog, click on the ``Load plugin...'' button  and
       select the plugin file, named att_remover.so, and press the ``Open'' button.

BUGS

       There is no way you can select individual attachments for removal.  It's all or nothing.

SEE ALSO

       claws-mail (1), claws-mail-extra-plugins (1).
