Is there any way to save an email without the attachments?

For instance, I get a nice chatty 2KB note about the recent all-you-can-eat
rib fest from Bubba, with 2MB of photos of gustatory excess attached.
It would be great to somehow "strip" the photos [which I've already saved
outside OE] but keep the text, so I can save it in my OE folder "Bubba"
without that 2MB of extra baggage but with the proper 'to', 'from' and time.

My hunch is the answer is "no", but just wanted to make sure there wasn't
something obvious I'd missed.
I've got my own (PITA) workarounds, but would be interested to hear any
relatively smooth suggestions.
