Delete an attachement in a received mail

Hello everybody,

I have a few mails with rather large attachements.
Therefor, I would like to delete the attachement but keep the mail itself.
Does anybody now how to do this?
I tried with a right-click on the attachement, but I can't select "Remove"
since it is grayed out.

Thanks in advance.

Save the message to the Desktop. File | Save as | Desktop | Save. Open it
with Notepad. Highlight and delete the attachment code and drag the
message back to a folder in WLMail.

If you 'Reply' to the message and send it back to yourself, it will be
stripped of attachments. However, that changes the 'From' address.

Forward it to your self & remove the attachment before sending
