I am also not advocating one product over another, but Groupwise had this feature long before it was added to Exchange. Duplicate attachments are a "big" problem at my day job, but other than attempting to train the end users to store the files on the network, and working off these files (at least when they are in the office), instead of emailing them back and forth, not much else I can do about it.
