You can replicate the teamroom locally and therefor have all docs on your laptop - with the corresponding attachments.
If you really want to detach all attachments, I'm sure there is some code somewhere you can put in an agent to do just that. A search on Tek-Tips, or even Google, will certainly help you there.
What is it exactly that you would like an explanation on ? Attachments are contained in documents, to access them you have to open the document. If there is not a function designed into the application to detach everything for all docs, then you cannot do it via Notes functionality.
Hope this helps.

I've got nothing to hide, and I'd very much like to keep that away from prying eyes.
