Each time I send an attachment, Outlook adds verbage about the fact that
there is an attachment, that it could be dangerous, etc. blah blah blah.
How do I eliminate this from my outgoing messages?
Outloook 07 running on windows XP with latest service packs.
thanks

That has nothing to do with YOU sending an e-mail with an attachment.
That has to do with your COMPANY which, ahem, peculiarly you choose to
omit to mention (stop hiding the facts if you want help). Their
Exchange server adds this to all outbound mails (outbound from their
network and to outside recipients) when there is an attachment. It is a
legal disclaimer to avoid getting sued should their employee
accidentally or deliberately proliferate a virus or other malware.

If you don't want your company adding the disclaimer to your mails
(which is THEIR property) then don't use their mail server to send your
personal mails. Go use some webmail service, like Hotmail, Yahoo, or
the webmail interface to your home ISP account to send those non-company
e-mails.

Besides adding the disclaimer to outbound mails for those that have
attachments, it is also possible for your company to "brand" all
outbound mails so that the recipient gets assured without having to dig
into the headers that the e-mail originated from that company. When you
go through the company's mail server, you are not in control of those
e-mails because, well, you are supposed to be using company resources
for work-related mails. Use your own e-mail provider for your personal
stuff.
 
Are you using an anti-spam or anti-virus add-in that is adding this disclaimer? What products do you have installed that integrate with Outlook?

I am only using the windows firewall. No other anti spam or anti-virus
products.
