"File / Attachments / Delete all" works fine when one message is selected
but becomes inactive (light gray in the menu) when more than one message is selected. This is a pity, because quite often it would be useful to be able to extract or save or delete attachments in hundreds of messages at the same time;
for instance when one wants to keep thousands of emails in his/her "Trash" folder
but without the attachments in order to save disk space
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.select more than one message
2.try to use menu option "File / Attachments / Delete all"
3.you can't because it is inactive
Actual Results:

This enhancement would really be welcome. When my mailbox becomes too big, what I often do is a search on messages which are old AND have big attachments. I then manually delete the attachments, which I have to do by hand.
By the way, there is an extension which roughly does this :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/556
However, I don't think an extension should be needed only so that an action can be performed on a multiple selection instead on a single one...
