I just tried this, and I wasn't able to reproduce the problem.  Sent a 
message with an attachment to an account which, under TB, was configured 
to Leave On Server; received it under TB; deleted the attachment; opened 
a Seamonkey client which had the same account configured; fetched mail: 
message was there (with attachment).

At this point, did you do another Get Msgs ???  That could have an 
impact, regarding synchronization with the POP server.

A protocol is complete when there is nothing left to remove.

Using SM but I guess the issue is the same on TB and Mozilla Suite and 
that's why posting here.

With SM I have an e-mail account configured to leave a copy of the new 
messages on the server unless they are moved or deleted from Inbox. If I 
delete the attachment of a message, then the whole message is deleted 
from the server.

I was wondering if it is possible to delete an attachment from a message

I agree! If you did not do a "Get Messages" the changes are not passed
