Browsing through the new www.OfficeforMacHelp.com, I came across the page on
trimming attachments at
http://www.officeformachelp.com/2007/07/trim_attachments/

--which reminded me of a few questions I've had for a while.

1) Both the scripts mentioned on this page (designed to save, strip, and
link to attachments for *incoming* messages) mention only Entourage X and
2004. Do these scripts work with 2008 also?

2) Assuming the answer to (1) is yes (and assuming I use one of those
scripts on my identity and it works), will Outlook 2011 import my
received-messages-with-links-to-saved-and-stripped-attachments properly,
i.e., will the links to saved and stripped attachments still work?

3a) This help page also shows a mail rule for stripping attachments on
*outgoing* messages in Entourage. Will this leave an indication in the
headers (or elsewhere) of the attachments I sent with the message? I use
this information to check whether or not I've sent a particular item to
someone, sometimes years after the message was originally sent, and having
this information is more important to me than stripping the attachment from
my saved outgoing message. BUT, if I can save the information, and ditch the
attachment itself, I'd prefer to do that as a default. (I know that some
mail archiving programs for Windows Eudora can do this -- I have one of them
-- but Eudora handles attachments very differently than Entourage in the
first place, so this may not be analogous.)

3b) If a mail rule in Entourage 2008 won't do the above...how about Outlook
2011? 

Thanks!
