Thunderbird 38.6.0: Can I reply to a message that had an attachment, and omit sending the attachment back?

Perhaps there could be a choice to omit sending the attachment back: "Reply without attachment". Whether I do or do not choose to send the attachment back, is there a way that TB could detect duplicate attachments and store them only once? Lotus Notes had a feature for this, actually an add-on, and it saved a lot of space, especially with email chains going back and forth and including the attachment each time. Thanks for considering this.

Are you talking about an attachment, like an attached file? Thunderbird does not send that with a reply. Are you really talking about quoting the original message? There is a setting in Account Setting to not quote the original message. I do not have Thunderbird in front of me so you will just have to look around for it.

Edit, removed link because it was misleading. Tools-Account Settings-Composition and Addressing
