How to forward email without the attachments?

[Guest]

How do you forward or reply to an email without including the attachment in
the original email? Does it have to be reomved someway first? Thanks...

Replies don't carry attachments. When you forward an item you can manually
remove the attachments if you'd like

While this is an answer seeing as this page is linked from a help document on
creating rules to automatically forward messages using rules this does not
really apply.

Is there a way to strip attachments from a message/meeting invite before
automatically forwarding/Redirecting messages to another account?

Thanks
Justin

No, not within outlook or the forward rule. It might be possible to use VBA
to remove the attachment, but outlook would need to be running (if you use
exchange server).

We need to know whenever messages arrive in a shared mailbox. If we use
Forward or Redirect, the messages and attachments are sent to all members.

We don't want everybody to receive the large attachments on messages
arriving in the shared mailbox.

Is there a rule that will notify members that a message (sender and subject
line) has been received by a shared mailbox?
