remove encoded attachment from raw message Wilfried <invalid[ at ]invalid.invalid> 12/19/2008 2:03:54 PM Hello! (OL 2003 SP3) I realized that the usual way to remove an attachment from a message does not remove it completely. It seems to remove the decoded attachment but not the encoded version in the raw message text. E.g. removing the attachments from a message reduces message size from 12 MB to 9 MB which is not sufficient to keep the pst file small enough in the long term. The 9 MB message still contains the encoded version in the raw message text, as can be seen by looking into "view-options-header lines". I'd like to remove this as well, so my question: Is there a vba object which represents the encoded part of the message? -- Wilfried Hennings please reply in the newsgroup, the e-mail address is invalid

Thank you so much! That was the most valuable hint I got since I started asking about the problem. The registry key is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Options\Mail DWORD: SaveAllMIMENotJustHeaders Value: 1 I will be back in January 2009 to report whether this was helpful. Until then, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Wilfried
