Exactly. Deleting the attachments would need to be a feature of the RMM web interface. Runbox does not specify the IMAP protocol so they can not add a feature thats not supported by the IMAP protocol since you still need the IMAP client to support the same feature.

Any IMAP client could implement deleting attachments because the basic commands needed to do so already exist in IMAP. It would just need to download the message, delete the original, strip off the attachments, then upload the new version without the attachments.
