Hi,

From within Outlook (2003) using the Scalix connector on Scalix server 11.0.3.
Is the (Read-Only) status of an email the reason why an attachement cannot be removed from an email?
If so how to allow the removal of a recieved email's attachment (without allowing the changing of the email in otherways)?
(EDIT: I notice that emails not in the inbox are not readonly and can have attachements removed)

Alternatively does anyone know if a vb outlook macro that did the same thing more or less (ie saved to a location and REMOVED) would work on a recieved email that was read-only?


The attempt to remove an attachment from a read-only email in the inbox:

The option to remove the attachment was not greyed out.

The error message:

Many Thanks

William.


EDIT: Just read
http://www.scalix.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=35486
https://bugzilla.scalix.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7006
Which seems fairly similar.
Ideally virtually all email should be non editable within outlook with an option to allow attachments to be removable...
Is there a way to do that?

EDIT - is 11.3.0.3 or above the solution (currently using 11.0.3)?
