How can I strip images of incoming messages before storing them? For example, some signature images are huge and useless. Being able to strip them would save lots of space.

These add-ons work in the compose window only. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/stripimages/ https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/strip-inline-images/

One of the possibility is do not download them at the first place.

Try : Setting \ Privacy & Security \ and then Uncheck : Allow remote content in messages

This add-on appears to be able to extract or detach embedded and attached images:
