removed attachment is still there but not accessible (OL 2003)

Wilfried

Hello all

(Outlook from Office 2003 SP3)
I deleted an attachment from a message by the standard procedure:
Open message, right-click on attachment line in header section and
select "remove".
The attachment is no longer displayed in the header section.
As the reason is that I want to prevent my .pst file from growing too
large, I looked at the message size and saw that it still is 5MB (same
as before).
If I open the message, select "view - options" (I hope I correctly
translated this to English, but I'm not sure) and look at the "header
lines", I can see that the attachment is still there:

- --- copied from message --- -
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
....
------=_NextPart_000...
Content-Type: application/msword;
name="word_doc.doc"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="word_doc.doc"
....following a lot of encoded stuff...
- --- ------------------- --- -

Compressing the outlook.pst doesn't help.

How can I actually remove this attachment?
Or if something went wrong, restore it and then repeat removing it?
