Or, if the attachments are 1 MB or so, he could be on dial-up temporarily,
or literally just doesn't need silly PowerPoint tosh that people forward.

How is detaching the attachments from ALREADY received e-mail going to
help with reducing bandwidth to transfer that ALREADY transferred
e-mail? You can't detach the attachment until you already have the
e-mail. You cannot tell the mail server to send you just the body of
the e-mail devoid of any MIME parts for attachments (with either
disposition=attached or disposition=inline). Detaching anything is
completely independent of the transfer speed since you can't detach
until AFTER retrieving the message.

Unlike Outlook, Outlook Express does not have a global option applicable
to all accounts where you can specify to NOT download e-mails that
exceed a specified maximum size. Those e-mails would remain up on the
mail server and not get downloaded. Not downloading them saves you the
bandwidth (and of having to wait for long mail sessions to complete
before you can start doing anything with those huge e-mails, like
detaching their attachments). However, you can define a rule in OE that
tests on the size of a message. If the e-mail exceeds that threshold,
whatever action you selected gets committed, like "Do not download from
server". That would block the ENTIRE e-mail from downloading that
exceeds a threshold.

Okay, so now you have an e-mail sitting in your mailbox. You didn't
waste the time, bandwidth, or possibly any download quota for that huge
e-mail because you didn't download it. So how does that remove the
attachments, the topic the OP posed? It doesn't. Whether you can
remove them from the copy sitting in your mailbox depends on whether or
not the webmail interface to your account lets you remove attachments
from your e-mails sitting on the mail server. If the function exists,
the webmail client may let you remove the attachments so now the e-mail
is smaller and another mail poll by your local e-mail client should
retrieve that much smaller message.

That the OP wants to detach the attachments means the OP already has
permitted those huge e-mails to be retrieved. That he is even looking
for a client-side solution to remove attachments means waiting time,
bandwidth, and download quotas are not relevant to his question.

Hello. I'm Franklin's imaginary cousin.

Franklin says you must be mad if you think anyone wants their connection
logged by your web server.

My schoolmates say you're using an IP tracker at http://no-ip.com/ to
manage your cloaked link http://aracari.redirectme.net:8080/.

You're an idiot, you have now confirmed that you are a technical
imbecile.
