wishlist: possible storing of attachments as separate files

[ildar@…]

As a mail agent called The Bat!, I'd like mutt to have an option to store [some] attachments not in a mailbox, but in a directory as separate files. So that, mailboxes could shrink considerably, having only text and [several] references to other contents. The programm sould be tuned on what types of attachments to leave in mailbox and what types to extract.
If anyone could propose a patch as a 3rd party, this would be fine too.

You are free to save and then delete individual attachments from
mailboxes using mutt's receive-attachment menu.

I don't have rights to change GNATS; could someone retag this with an
appropriate severity and priority?
