Outlook 2000
Is there a simple way to select multiple emails (in the list pane) and
delete their attachments all at once. Currently I have to open each
email, to delete attachments.

Similarly, something that lets you select multiple emails and save
their attachments to a single destination (all at once).

I would even settle for a tool bar button/macro that will delete/save
the attachment(s) of the currently selected email (w/o actually
opening the email).

Thanks Brian. I took a look and those products seemed like overkill,
and of course I am looking for a 'free' solution. Just to make sure
everyone is clear on what I was asking:

I want to delete the attachment from an email and save the textual
part of the email and I want to do it w/o having to open the email
(i.e. from list view). Is there a Macro I can run that will delete
all the attachments to the currently selected email (ie being viewed
in the preview pane, but not 'open").

Brian,
Our IT dept. would go bananas if anyone downloaded any utility file from the
Internet and installed it on a company computer on our network where it could
potentially muck around within Outlook in unknown ways. How do we know any
such utility does not contain data-mining spyware? For that matter (please
don't take personal offense; none is intended) how do we know whether Brian
Tillman is just a real, nice person trying to be helpful, or an alias being
used by some not so nice person who is involved in phishing/spyware and is
posting these comments to entice potential victims? Also, (no offense
intended toward www.slipstick.com), what do we really know about
www.slipstick.com? Who are they, and how do we find out if they are what they
claim on their website? Unfortunately, people need to be very cautious these
days. Where does one go for reliable, definitive answers to these questions?
I think this is a valid point to make, here

That's certainly reassuring; hope I haven't raised anyone's flaming wrath
with the prior message; MVPs are certainly impeccably trustworthy and I
greatly respect and support them. When you click on just the link,
www.slipstick.com, you don't first see their info page at
www.slipstick.com/slipstick; you just see a lot of available software and
information links. Might be worth considering adding the MVP logo to the top
of all pages to alert new visitors like myself that it's an MVP's site...

Sue Mosher began and maintained that site for many years but recently (2-3 yrs. ago) sold the site to MVP Diane Poremsky, also a long standing and respected Outlook MVP.

BTW - if you use the online community interface to these newsgroups and a
user has an MVP icon beside their name, they really are an MVP as it's added
by Microsoft when the user posts and is logged in on the online interface,
Vista's Mail or the new Live Mail client.
