Within Gnus, I use

  gnus-mime-save-part-and-strip

to put large attachments somewhere where they are eventually deleted.
Unfortunately, this isn't very reliable in nnimap groups.  It creates
a new article to replace the old one, but the old one isn't always
deleted, and the new one doesn't retain the marks from the old one.

I also sometimes use a perl script from

  http://detach.optimism.cc/

to strip attachments out of e-mail and store them somewhere accessible.
This is quite reliable.
