Outlook 2003 Attachment Best Practise??

[Guest]

Gents/Ladies,

At our office we have a limit of a 60MB synchronisable mail file.
unfortunately I usually receive a lot of attachments,
reports...etc..etc...Currently I have to delete my emails when I have read
them, however I would like to keep the mails and store the mails on the
server somewhere..

I have in the past used Lotus Notes and there was a function available
called save and remove attachments - What that performed was to save the
attachment to a specified location and instead of attachment there was a
clickable link embedded in the mail to the file stored on the server...

Is this functionality available in Outlook 2003 or do people have tips and
tricks they perform that performs a similar function?????

right click on the attachment in an open message and Remove, then save and
close.

Diane,

Thanks for the quick response, can I ask if this will put a link in the
email to where the attachment has been stored????

No, it will just store the document where-ever you saved it to e.g. "My
Documents"
