Looks like tinoberlin found the solution. Another suggestion is to rebuild the mailbox.

Alright, editing the .emlx file in the directory /Users/Username/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes using TextEdit seems to be the only way to remove attachments from any email. You open the email, delete everything below your message, save it, close Mail, re-launch Mail, and the attachment has gone.

SquidlyMan figures out his own issue.

Ok…I take part of what I said back. It was MailActOn by InDev which allowed me to not automatically have a message marked as read.  See http://indev.ca/MailActOn.html for more info.

Apparently the version I had loaded wasn’t compatible with Lion Mail.app.  Since updating it, I know have this feature again.

Apple Mail, underlines and…: Apple Support Communities. This is a strange way to have to use it. Perhaps this will be fixed in Lion. Thanks Tom!

Have you made sure that in the New Message pane you set a font and size different from what is already set in Mail > Preferences?  I think that is required for the outgoing to actually include the rich text codes you want to send.

Christopher Breen comes to the rescue with this article Mac troubleshooting FAQ: iCal and Mail. These are some common problems that I have read people on the Apple Discussion forms have. Is everyone excited about the next version of Mail in Lion? Doesn’t it look amazing and useful?
