Removing attachments from multiple emails at one time

[Joe B]

My Outlook pst is getting pretty large and I need to have
copies of the attachments for reference. Is there a way
to save attachments from multiple emails in one step
rather than email by email. When I was on a Mac I could
do this in Entourage, but can't find a way to do so in
Outlook. Any ideas?

You can use code or a 3rd party program.

samples.

There is no way to remove atachment from the email
message. You can save the attachments and then delete teh
messages

That's not true with Outlook - however, I believe it is true with Outlook
Express.

There is an Attachments Processor Add-in and you can
download that will scan through a folder you have the
emails in and strip the attachment. It will then save
them to any directory you choose.
