Annoying Attachment

In composed messages there is always an "ATT" attachment which always
duplicates the email message. After asking friends they don't see this
attachment when the message arrives. The way I know there is an "ATT"
attachment is that I see the emails in the sent box or sometimes I "cc" to
myself. This means that my outlook express is doing it from within? Any help
would be great.

Click to expand...

In Outlook Express, on the toolbar at the top click on Tools.
Select Options from the menu that drops down.
Check on the Read tab, is "Read all messages in plain text"
checked?
Check on the Send tab, is the Mail Sending format set to HTML?
If both of those conditions exist, you'll see the behavior
you're describing.

If you don't want to see the attachment, either turn off "Read
all messages in plain text" or change the format of sent mail
to Plain Text.

FYI, your friends don't have their email program set up to read
messages only in plain text. They see the HTML formatting
included in the original message. The attachment you're seeing
is the HTML formatting that has been stripped out of the
message.

Good luck
