Outlook 365: message sizes not falling when attachments removed?

Are the full emails - i. e. including the attachments - still being kept somewhere? If so, how do you get at them? 2. If the answer to 1. is "yes they are but you can't", what's the point of the ability to "remove" attachments? Exactly how are you removing the attachment? Attachment appears as a rectangle above body of email (whether in preview pane or opened in separate window). I right-click on it, press v ("Remove attachment" has v underlined) or click remove, press space or click yes, and the rectangle disappears. The paperclip in the list of emails doesn't disappear nor does the size shown for the email drop, even if I go to another folder and back or close and restart Outlook, though the rectangle remains gone. I'm using Outlook 2016. There's no such rectangle here. It must be a difference in the versions, so sorry, I can't try to see what happens here. -- Ken |

I'm also using Outlook 2016 and I see the rectangle he's talking about, assuming the email has one or more attachments. There's one for each attachment. It displays the default icon for that filetype, the name of the attachment, and its size. The rectangles are at the top of the email body, just below the To: line. Right clicking on that rectangle or pulling down on the little black arrow on the right edge of each rectangle gives you the same context menu, and Remove Attachment is one of the options. |
