Description
Feature Request
Many users have limited space in their Mail Account because of the provider's quota. They should be given the opportunity to remove the attachment from the mail.
This feature could be implemented in three levels of convenience, where I consider the first one a must have.
- Have a "delete Attachment from Mail" option in the attachments menu
- To make it even more convenient, and to safe space in the users mail box by default, the user should be asked if the Attachment should be removed, during the process of saving it to Files App.
- keeping an association between mail and attachment (or even mail and sender) after having deleted the mail – both from Mail App to Files App and vice versa – would round up the experience.

Research direction
Review the attachment menu and the save-to-Files App flow described in the issue, then trace how Mail and Files App handle attachments. Before coding, clarify which of the three proposed convenience levels is in scope; done should be a tested, user-visible attachment-removal flow with agreed behavior.
