attachment appears as icon VB.Net/System.Web.Mail

[Guest]

Hello
I'm using the following code to send mail from VB.NET 2003

Imports System.Web.Mail
..
..
Dim oMail as System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail
Dim Attachment as System.Web.Mail.MailAttachment
Dim Mailmsg as New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage

oMail.SmtpServer = "yyy.yyy.com"
Mailmsg.To = "(e-mail address removed)"
Mailmsg.From = "\Joe Blow\"
Mailmsg.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
Mailmsg.Subject = "TEST"
Attachment = New MailAttachment("C:\manifest.txt")
Mailmsg.Attachments.Add(Attachment)
oMail.Send(Mailmsg)

The attachment shows up as an icon in the message body when viewed in
Outlook. How do I make the attachment appear in the "header" and not as
an icon in the body? I need the body to be blank. I've tried setting
Mailmsg.body = "" and Mailmsg.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text. Didn't change
anything.

Help very much appreciated !

Have you tried to attach some other types files such as **.txt or
**.doc, try it and see the result.

tried various attachments, no difference
It amazes me that this works in VB6.
