Redacting an embedded file

I have converted a outlook .PST to an embedded .PDF . I now need to redact information from within the emails.
I am able to successfully redact information within the body of the email however email attachments are an issue. The attached documents open correctly I am able to make comments and the comments stay with that document. But wile redacting information acrobat forces me to save the redacted attachment outside of the embedded .PDF.
Am I missing something? Why can I not redact theses attachments?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

Redacting file attachements requires you to save the file outside the open PDF document, then delete the file attachment and add the file back in as an attachment. You can't edit the attachment for redactions and select Save to update the file.
