Check deleted emails for attachments to delete

When you delete emails or move them to the Recycle Bin, DetachPipe can scan the emails to see if any detached attachments still reside on disk. It can offer to delete the files on disk at the same time, which is usually desirable. If you are deleting a large number of emails you may wish to disable this option temporarily.

Don't prompt to delete associated attachments when emails are deleted

This prevents the window above from appearing - associated attachments are deleted by default whenever the email is deleted.

Check forwarded emails for attachments to send

Normally, any attachments on forwarded emails are also sent. To maintain identical functionality, DetachPipe can scan outgoing emails (forwarded emails, not replies), and attach any detached documents before sending them. If the documents are not available on disk, DetachPipe will prompt you for the location of each one, which you can skip if required.

Ignore errors if Outbox items are deleted (needed with some Addins)

Other Outlook AddIns (such as sync utilities) can remove emails from the SentItems folder - the emails they use to communicate transparently with external systems. Checking this option (the default) ignores errors associated with this.

Place DetachPipe text in email body at

You can choose if DetachPipe's links to attachments are shown at the top or bottom of emails.

Font Size (use zero for default)

If you need to adjust the size of text used to display DetachPipe's attachments, adjust it here. Use zero (0) to use the default font size.
