Agreed, it would be nice to have an option to make a small note in the
message about the type and size and perhaps the content-description of the
attachments stripped, something like what Pine does. Pine has the ability
to save multipart messages without selected MIME-bodyparts, these are
replaced with a dummy bodypart like below:

    [ Part 2: "Attached Text" ]

  [ The following attachments were DELETED when this message was saved:  ]
  [ A Image/JPEG segment of about 423,027 bytes.                         ]

These small notes make it easy for the recipients/readers to understand
why they don't see the image/attachment the sender is referring to ;-)

Cheers,
