verified… that does seem to be happening.

Steps to take;
- sent test msg to gmail account with simple attachment
- it arrives and is seen in Mailmate, verified in gmail’s web client, 
in the Inbox
- within Mailmate, used new ‘remove attachment’ feature
- attachment is successfully removed and there is one copy of the 
message in Mailmate
- returning to gmail in a browser and there is now two copies of the 
message, one with attachment and one without, both seemingly in the 
Inbox

Best regards,
verdon
