Leonard,

You can hand edit the Sent folder file... Evolution stores all messages 
locally in the mbox format , where all messages of a given folder are 
located in a text file.... You can simply edit the file and you're 
ready...  (but make a copy of the original file before , just in case).

I dont know for sure, but I guess that evolution doesnt have an option 
to not keep attachments in Sent...
