Microsoft Outlook - blocking attachments

[Stanley]

Hi there
I have quite a few of my contacts that email me on a regular basis regarding
business affairs. I run a business from home.
I however have this problem that these same contacts have got this annoying
habbit of sending me jokes and powerpoint products and and and..... as an
attachment size about 2MB. I did some research on Microsoft and pictures
attachements etc is support to give you the option do you want to download
the attachment - mine just downloads the attachment automatically..... The
only time it ask whether I want to download pictures if there are pictures in
the body of the email such as a catalogue, then it give me that option. Can
anyone assist PLEASE!

You can set Outlook to download headers only for messages over a certain
size....
