Hi Vicky: The thing I've always done is detatch the attachment separately. Usually, it will say "detatch or read?" I generally look at it first to see if I want it. Plus, I like to know it can be read. When you write D for Detatch, it should tell you what kind of a document it is. After you find the folder, you'll be asked to create a file name. At this point, I press Backspace with X so that I can pick my document type. After you've done this, you will see "delete attachment"? I usually don't, until I see that it's there. Generally, I never need the body of the e-mail, because usually the attachment is the important part. Hope this makes sense.
