Since I've limited quota on mail server, I'd like to delete large messages. I am thinking of the following flow:
The mutt manual have pattern for tagging message according to size range but not for attachment. Is there a simple way to accomplish this?
Don't know about tagging all messages with attachments, but from the mutt mail index you can sort by size (press oz) which will make it easy to manually tag and/or delete large messages.
You seem to use the IMAP protocol; it looks like there is no criterion in the IMAP protocol for selecting a message with an attachment (see this thread: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=654086). Selecting by size would be the most orthodox way to do it. If you want to script this operation, you can either use some command line mail client (like mailx) or write an easy Python script (which has a support for IMAP in its standard library).
