I usually archive my emails in custom folders. However, it would be nice to be able to delete any attached documents or pictures. My philosophy for 20 years has been that attachments do not belong in emails: either trash them if transitory or not useful, or conversely, save them on disk in a proper folder classification, especially if the disk in question is also backed up periodically. I NEVER keep attachments in Outlook, for instance. Gmail is a nuisance for this as it does NOT permit the deletion of attachments (to my knowledge).
