Rated 2 out of 5 stars
Useless for me, as it only removes images from the message you compose (it can be done manually easily), not from messages in the inbox.

Great addon, does what it says on the tin and very helpful. But I would echo what was said by csongorhalmai, that it would be even better if it could be configured to strip images from reply automatically.

The addon works like a charm, I love it.
I'd like to have one more feature, however. It would be awesome if I could configure it to strip images every time I start to Reply/Reply All an email. In that case, it would do the job without I should do it manually.

What I really need is a way to delete images from existing received emails to save disk space. Doing it manually takes hours.

Me too - I also need is a tool that strips inline images from stored messages. Suppose you manage to change the first "Content-Type: multipart/related;" declarative to "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;" then all inline images become "Attachments" which I then can "Detach" or "Delete". Yes, I can and have to do it occasionally using Notepad++. That simple edit changeing "related" to "mixed" by hand is a tedious procedure...

Nice! However, only to strip images from messages being composed.

Very useful. I still have to make the habit of pressing Strip images when I compose my replies. Otherwise the pictures in the reply chain accumulate and often take several megabytes. One little issue, the button icon is invisible (black) in dark mode. I use DeepDark instead the dark theme, but I think the problem is the same.

Well shoot! I absolutely LOVE this plugin. At first I was a bit whiney, but it really grew on me within a short time. I get emails from people all the time that clutter them with images throughout long chains. I enjoyed being able to hit reply, hit strip images, and then write my stuff and send (thus not expanding the size of my user profile with needed images). I do hope this gets re-written to work with TB 78+ :)

Nice idea! But it appears only to strip images from messages being composed. That limits its ability to reduce mailbox size. (What I need is a tool that strips inline images from stored messages.)

i couldn't find the button in the toobar, so i right clicked and added it ("strip images") and it worked perfectly. thanks! this was just what i was looking for (to be honest, this should be built into thunderbird by default!)

This would be a very useful AddOn, but I cannot find the "strip" button.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0.7).Honestly...I would have preferred to add the button automatically. But I couldn't figure out how to do it in the amount of time available to me at that point.
To add the button you
- create a new mail
- in the compose window, right click a blank part of the toolbar and from the context menu select "Customize..."
- in the "Customize Toolbar" dialog that appears, find the "strip images" button and drag it to the toolbar
