The ideas mentioned are worthy, but can one of the sages comment as to why, when sending an attachment, the attachment(s) could not be attached to the record copy (as in sent mail, or wherever you keep these things) as an alias to what is, more often than not, file(s) on the sender's hard drive or network. Sure, the outgoing itself must be intact, but the record need not be. Deleting the attachment also deletes the information as to what file was sent and when. Having an alias to that file, time-stamped by the outgoing mail record, would suffice in many instances and not be redundant.
