Remove Attachments from Emails?

Does anyone know if it's possible to remove attachments from an email without
deleting the email itself? There are cases where I've saved the attachments
or don't need them any longer, but I would like to keep the email itself. In
order to minimize mail file size, I'd like to be able to remove some of the
larger attachments but keep the emails they came with. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Open the email. Right click on the attachment. Click on remove. Save the
email. Done

hmmm... interesting. when I tried this, the 'remove' option was grey and
unavailable... do you know why this is and how to correct it?
 
Dave, thanks for the info. Carla, I had the same issue with the greyed out
option, but I have since realized that it's because I use the preview pane to
view emails. To do what Dave suggested, simply open the email all the way
rather than using the preview pane...then, the remove option is there.

For Outlook 2007, the removal option does not appear to work the same as
previous Outlook versions. Any idea on how 2007 version removes attachments
when the email is open (not in preview pane)?

Click to expand...

Same as previous versions. Right-click on the attachment and select
"Remove".
Where do you get stuck?
