Not directly XP I know, but collectively you're all usually so
mind-numbingly knowledgeable I thought I'd ask.
Is there a quick way to delete an attachment from a received or sent folder
message without deleting the message itself?

program that separates attachments from messages as they're received.
Reading news or mail the message/file relationship is preserved and
accessible. But you can go through the attachment folder at any time and
remove any unwanted files.
Personally, I use 40tude's Dialog. It has this capability with mail and
news messages but there are other programs also capable of doing this.

Double-click the message so it appears within its own window.
Right-click on the attachment shown in the list and select Remove. That
removes the attachment without deleting the message. That is useful
when deleting attachments on a few messages. If instead you want to
delete attachments on all your e-mails, you'll need a utility to do
that. Take a look at www.slipstik.com which probably lists one, or
more, such utilities for cleaning up your message store.
The above refers to Outlook (2002). You never mentioned your e-mail
client. You will have to use whatever procedure is provided within that
particular e-mail client.
