Outlook 2007 Attachments

[Carl]

In version 2003, I was able to delete an attachment from an incoming item,
and retain the item, without the attached file. THis saved a lot of storage,
if I had the file on the file server.
I can not figure out how to do this in Outlook 2007.
Any help will be appreciated.

I think I figured this out.

If mail is sent as Rich Text, you can not remove the attachment since it
embedded in the body of the email.
If sent HTML or Plain Text, the attachment is in a "line" of its own, right
below Subject and can be removed

yeah, you can. you need to go into edit mode first though- other actions,
edit message.
