I would like to be able to cc someone on an email that has attachments without including the attachments. How can this be done?

The easiest way to do make that new mail, maybe:
- First send it to the 'full' receivers.
- Then in Send items, open the mail and choose Reply. Outlook will strip the attachments (and replace them by a comment with their name)
- Then replace yourself in the To-field by the new recipient.
- Then change "Re: " in "Fw: " in the subject line.
The recipients of the original mail won't see who got the copy. It's like a bcc.
