211944	2004-01-31 23:41:00	I have Outlook 2002 running on XP Home. How can I delete an attachment I don't want, while still saving the text of the email?	colmack (2939)
211945	2004-01-31 23:49:00	Open the email, right click on the attachment you don't want, and click "Remove". Close the email and click "Yes" to save changes. Mike.	Mike (15)

Otherwise copy and paste the contents of the email into a document and save that. There has to be a simpler way though! John	John H (8)

Hi Odin, I have no idea if it works in Outlook Express as I only use the full Outlook program (as the original post requested). But one thing I think you need to do is make sure you open the email rather than just view it in a preview pane. Mike.	Mike (15)
