Get disk icon when pasting into an html e-mail instead of text

[erato]

Hi,

I'm using Windows XP and Outlook 2000. When I copy and paste text
into an html-format e-mail the text doesn't appear; instead, I get a
disk icon. This only happens if I copy some text, open a new e-mail,
type in an e-mail address and then paste the text. That is to say, if
I open a new e-mail, type an e-mail address, copy some text then paste
it in, it works fine. It also works fine if I use rich text format
e-mails. I'm having the same problem using Windows 2000 too.

If anyone can help with this I'd be very grateful. It's a very annoying problem!
