Don't know of a way to do this with OE or Outlook. You could use an email
program that separates attachments from messages as they're received.
Reading news or mail the message/file relationship is preserved and
accessible. But you can go through the attachment folder at any time and
remove any unwanted files.

Personally, I use 40tude's Dialog. It has this capability with mail and
news messages but there are other programs also capable of doing this.
