Ignoring Email Attachments
Posted: 28 Sep 07 8:50 AM

recently I noticed my attachements folder for Saleslogix was getting out of hand and asked my SLX Partners fro any suggestions. They pulled this off some User group somewhere. All of my users have a .gif email signature and thousands of emails everyday really add up for these little image files. This fix really cut down on surpurfulous attachments. These registry entries need to be done on the client. I pushed mine out via a login script.
Happy trails!
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SalesLogix\Outlook\MinImageSizeToIgnore - (either string or integer)
The size (in bytes) of the image (JPG, JPEG, BMP, GIF) files to ignore. Graphic files with a size below this value will
be ignored and a user will be prompted only if there are other files.
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SalesLogix\Outlook\IgnoreFileNames - a list of files to ignore, separated by
a ";". You may use "*" and "?" wildcards. The files matching the criteria will be ignored. Example: "*.jpg;jungle.gif".
This applies to all files, not just images.

Yes, Mike Spragg always seems to throw out these tips that no one else seemed to know even existed  |

This is an excellent uh... hack. Just wish SLX would have it as an option just like they have the option to have an upper limit on the size of attachments. Seems like it would be easy enough to add a lower limit to the profile.
Off to the SLX suggestion box!

I know this existed somewhere. How do you change the maximum size to allow in Attachments? I thought this was in Administrator in Tool | Options. I can't find it! I even tried looking through a user profile to no avail.
Where is the maximum Attachment size set?
Thanks,

| It's still in Admin, bring up a user and select Sync tab - then attachment filters button - you can set the max sizes and the date. |

Looking at the help file for that and it states:
This dialog box enables you to restrict the attachments that sync to this user by applying filters for size and age.
Which makes it sound like it only applies to files that are synced to a remote user. Is the help file omitting something about it applying to attachments from a recorded email for ALL users?

| No, it's correct - this is for remotes only (as they are most affected by large attachments due to large sync's). When you attach a file > 1Mb then the system warns you about that anyway (but doesn't stop you). |

Ok. Understood.
What the idea here was to send a suggestion to SLX to add the option to filter out attachments that are less than x KBs when emails are being recorded. This would help lessen the amount graphic signatures, logos, smiles and all the other little GIFs, etc that get in as attachments that don't need to be there. It would apply system wide.
