note: have keep large picture @ least month after want reduce picture sizes can not set option receiving smaller size email.

the outlook object model doesn't provide editing attachments on fly. however, workaround may use low-level property getting setting byte array represents attached file. propertyaccessor class outlook object model (see corresponding property of attachment class) can used retrieving pr_attach_data_bin property value. dasl name "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x37010102".

the outlook object model allows save attached file on disk using saveasfile method of attachment class, required changes , re-attach anew using add method of attachments class.
