Automatic stripping/saving of attachments?

[Bryan Anderson]

Is there a way on Outlook 2003 to automatically save attachments into
a specific directory and to then strip them from the email? I get lots
of email of family members and the email will include a couple of
pages of text and then normally a load of photos. When I used The Bat!
I could set it to save the attachments to a specific directory and it
would then strip them from the email, so my mailbox files didn't grow
too huge. If ten people send me 1MB of mail, my pst will grow by 10MB
whereas in The Bat!, the mailbox folders would only grow by a matter
of KB because the files weren't stored there any more.

Make sense?

Makes sense indeed. You can't do it natively but Sperry Software has a great
add-in for this;

Would have thought that this would have been fairly basic funtionality
built into Outlook. Never mind.

Don't suppose you have any clues about my previous post? The dialogue
that pops up when replying to an email which included remotely hosted
images?
