[dba-Tech] strip attachments to stored email.

I just open the message and single click on the attachment and hit delete. Then when you close the message, it asks if you want to save the changes, and say yes. BTW, I usually also choose Edit > Edit Message, then Format > Plain Text, as well. That way the message is plain text which also takes less room (not to mention, usually easier to read). I hate it when I get mail that was generated with Word, as I can't change it to plain text. I know, you didn't ask that, but since you want to save room, saving as plain text will help as well.
