Paul Berkowitz posted this recently to the Entourage newsgroup
<microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage> in response to a similar inquiry:
------------------
It could be done by a rule running a script.
-- Start Copying
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theMsg to item 1 of (get current messages)
repeat with theAttachment in (every attachment of theMsg)
if name of theAttachment contains "imstp.gif" then
delete theAttachment
end if
end repeat
end tell
-- Stop Copying
------------------
Open Script Editor (HD/Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor), and paste
the script in. Then, save it to ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Entourage
Script Menu Items with a name you'll remember, like "Remove imstp". Now,
launch Entourage, and go to Tools -> Rules.
If you work off of the "On My Computer" hierarchy, create a rule like this
under the "Rules (POP)" tab:
* Execute actions if any criteria are met
IF Attachment Name Contains imstp.gif
THEN Run AppleScript Remove impstp
If you work from an account icon in the Folder List that is IMAP, create a
rule like this:
* Execute actions if any criteria are met
IF All Messages
THEN Run AppleScript Remove impstp
