What to do if you want to keep your attachments, but don't want the .pst file to get too big? Get the clever Kopf Outlook Attachment Remover. It saves your attachments to your PC, and gets them out of Outlook, so deletes them from your .pst file. It then links your email directly to the attachment. So in Outlook it appears as if the attachment still existing. You still see the attachment icon. the file is actually on disk, not in Outlook, so when you click it, you're loading it from disk.
Outlook Attachment Remover can go through entire directories, and remove all attachments and replace them with links. If you'd prefer, you can instead do it on an email-by-email basis.
Note: This program is donationware. It is free to try, but the author accepts and encourages donations towards further development. This link takes you to the vendor's site, where you can download the latest version of the software.
