For a device that is reputed to be so mail-centric, I am finding it's mail inferface lacking some fundamental functionality when dealing with existing messages.

I already discovered you can't edit replied text, forcing you to use a top reply format and making it almost impossible to reply in line (without copy, paste, delete original PITA).

But today I seem to have run into a brick wall with no apparent workaround... Perhaps someone knows the way around the wall:

I have a message with an attached file. The file has no native BB viewer (CAD file). I need to forward this attachemt via E-mail. If you pick "forward" or "forward as" you can apparently forward it, however when forwarding, there is no "delete original message text" option. And since oyu can't edit that text, you can't get rid of it.

I need to send the attachment I received to someone else. I do not (can not) send the original text email which is private and propriatery.

I can't seem to save the attachment from within the BB mail client as far as I can see, so I can't "detach" it from the original mail message. And I can find no way to remove the original text from a forward.

Anyone know a workaround?

This bites.

What about one of those third party application programs which will allow you to store files auch as Beamberry?

Just a thought.

I don't know a workaround for what the OP needs.
