Outlook Express Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

How do I save a message without its attachment?

I have found two different methods to be effective:

  1. If you are not worried about tracking who the message came from, you can forward the message to yourself, remove the attachment and with the message open, go to File>> Copy to folder. Select the folder you would like to save it to.
     
  2. If you don't mind taking a bit of extra time, this method will preserve the original headers:

    1. Open the email with the attachment.
    2. Go to File>> Save As.
    3. Save the message to your desktop as .eml extension.
    4. Right click the file on your desktop and select 'Open with'>> Notepad.
    5. With the message open in Notepad, scroll down to the start of the encoded message and delete everything below.
    6. Once the attachment is deleted, go to File>> Save.
    7. Now, just simply drop this file into an Outlook Express folder of choice.
