Editing an attachment

[email protected]

I just noticed that when I need to edit a members email for copyright infringement it works fine when I delete an embedded graphic that was in the email. The other graphics stay in the email and just the one I deleted is removed and then sent to the group.
?
However, if the graphics were all attached and I ticked the copyright graphic to delete it from the attached graphics that are shown, all of the attachments in that email are deleted as well even though they weren't marked to delete.

Ilene,

However, if the graphics were all attached and I ticked the copyright
graphic to delete it from the attached graphics that are shown, all of
the attachments in that email are deleted as well even though they
weren't marked to delete.
That sounds like a bug. If you haven't already you should probably report this to [email protected] and cite the group name and message number where this occurred.

If there was a bug, Mark has already fixed it. It works properly here,

If I edit a message and click on one of several attachments and then select either "Save and Send to Group" or "Save Without Sending", then only that one attachment is deleted.

Of course, clicking on the Red "Delete" button does delete all attachments as well as the entire message. There is a confirmation message, but it could easily be overlooked as it would seem natural to select an item of many to delete and then click the Delete button to do it and only glance at the expected warning without fully reading it.

That Red button really isn't even necessary here and perhaps should be removed, as if one wanted to delete the message, that would have been done by clicking on "Delete message" rather than "Edit message".

I need to see what I had selected when I checked off only 1 attachment.
I will wait until later on today and try it again when a new message comes in whether or not that graphic needs to be deleted.
?
So many messages come through my groups that I was unable to determine which message it had happened to, but that wasn't the first time it happened.
?
I didn't say anything because the graphics were embedded anyway and there really wasn't any need for the attachments. The member didn't have to do both. But it happened several times. If I did something wrong, well then that ought to be changed too because it only seemed logical to do what I did.
?
I will document exactly the selections I had made and report back here before I write to support.

I agree that clicking on "Save without Sending to Group" in this context is not particularly intuitive.

In some circumstances I've found it more straightforward to delete an undesirable [or duplicate] photo directly from the Emailed Photos folder, rather than using the "edit message" interface. Doing so is more-or-less equivalent to clicking on "Save without Sending," inasmuch as the OP is always notified. The only confusing thing about doing it this way is you have to remember the refresh the page before attempting to delete any other photos. See??

Hope this helps,
Bruce?

Thanks for that suggestion but?I have no clue about anything from the Emailed Photos folder and just looked at it now for the first time. There are over 16,000 photos there in one folder. I could get rid of them all and be happy.
?
Now does that get rid of the image from the attachment or the embedded?image.
My members sometimes in one email embed the graphic and also attach it.
It is a Graphic, tag sharing group.
?
I would think the best way to get rid of an attachment is to check of the box where it says delete and then send the message on,?hoping that the checked photo will be the only one deleted.
?
I only work from the approve messages list on the group pages.

Ilene,

Either or both.
I only work from the approve messages list on the group pages.

I think there has been some confusion about whether you were editing the message(s) while pending versus after they had posted. Any embedded or attached images in the message won't appear in the Emailed Photos album until the message is posted to the group. While the message is still pending the edit in the Pending list is the only place to remove the attachment(s).

I don't do anything from the messages when they already posted.
?
The editing was done while pending. But in the pending que, when one attachment is checked off to be deleted, ALL the attachments get deleted as well.
?
I also am not talking about the Emailed Photo Albums.
?
I am talking about when the message shows up in their email.
The attachments are all gone even though only one was checked to delete.
