Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Mail / October 2008Removing attachments
With Windows Mail, is there any way to remove an attachment to an e-mail message that you have received? There are a number of cases where I would like to save a message and its distribution list but not its attachments. Thanks. Not that I know of. You'd have to forward that email to yourself without the attachment. Gary VanderMolen > With Windows Mail, is there any way to remove an attachment to an e-mail > message that you have received?

There is one "remove" option within the program that is accessible by opening the message (by double-click), then right-clicking the attachment itself... Unfortunately, this option is "greyed" and not enabled... So there must be a way, but I'm still waiting to see if someone comes up with the solution...

OEX($20): www.oehelp.com/OEX/  SignatureFrank Saunders MS-MVP IE,OE/WM Do not reply with email Whilst OEX is a solution for removing attachments, it uses aa non-integrated user interface, unfortunely making it "non-user friendly". There is a "greyed out" option in the menu that pops up when the email is opened and you right-click on the attachment that indicates "Remove Attachment". Needless to say, it does not work. The most logical solution is for Microsoft to enable this option, which should not be that difficult, unless there is an ulterior motive for them not to do so. What is the reponse from Microsost on this ? Removing attachments is a considerable space saver.

OEX is not a Microsoft program. SignatureFrank Saunders MS-MVP IE,OE/WM Do not reply with email |
