Regarding my recent mail-cleaning session I’ve modified a small VBA script I found at Nicola Delfino’s blog that removes attachments from old mails to get the data-base size down. Changes are:

· Processes all mails in the currently selected folder instead of the currently selected mails
· Doesn’t add the ATTACH REMOVED string anymore since using WordEditor made my Outlook wonky for some mails
· Limits the size by throwing away all data after 16384 characters (I had a bunch of 500Kb mails containing program logs)

First time I’ve used VBA. Kind of neat. You can download the script here.
