how to save messages in Outlook with out saving attachments

Hi, I was wondering how to how to save messages in Outlook with out saving attachments automatically. I know I can disattach them later, but how do I do it where I have the option to open the file, but somhow, later, they file dosent save. that way, I can keep more of my messages without archiving. I hate archiving.

Im talking about outlook usiing a pst file, no exchange server.

thanks -

I love the program, but cant figure out one thing, when I do the detach thing, it still leaves the attachemnt in the message. i set it up to detach and save a link, but no go, the attachment is still there, and the folder size didnt decrease. I must be dooing something wrong, can you let me know what, then you win...

OK never mind, I think it just started working, or I just figured out it was all allong. One last question, If I uninstall the program, is my pst file still going to be ok? or are there pointers, and conduits that will make it crumble.

You pst will be fine. The only problem is is won't link to the attachments anymore, but the cool thing is that all of your attachments will be stored, filed however you filed them. One last cool thing, it's really great for an office setting where you want to share these attachments. Makes managment a whole bunch easier!!!

thanks for the points!
