Block attachments by size

Outlook 2003 on Win XP

Is there any way to block the receipt of e-mails
with attachments greater than a specified size?

The ability to only download messages under a certain size
is the option I require.
However, (ctrl+alt+s) does nothing when I try to use it in my Outlook.
Is there a "long" way to get there and what does the size setting
option look like?

unless your mail server allows it, not really. you can set up the send and
receive options (ctrl+alt+s) to only download messages under a certain
size.

Are you viewing your Inbox when you try?
Is there a "long" way to get there and what does the size setting
option look like?

Tools>Send/Receive>Send/Receive Settings>Define Send/Receive Groups. Select
your Send/Receive group (probably "All Accounts"") and click Edit. Over on
the right side is a checkbox labeled "Download only headers for items larger
than" and a number box that allows you to specific the size.

I found the (ctrl+alt+s) was being used for something else.
Now you've put me in the right direction, I've done what I wanted.
Many thanks
