I implemented something similar to this for incoming mail using Anomy
Sanitizer (http://mailtools.anomy.net). It stripped all attachments
from incoming mails, saved them in a restricted web-accessible location
on the server and pasted the url into the mail, along with the
attachment size.
It was pretty straightforward to implement. Combined with one of the
many php file management scripts out there it could easily be made
more end-user friendly (to allow for file deletion)
