I am unwittingly sending an attachment gif each time I send a mess

I am unwittingly sending an attachment gif each time I send a message.
Finally my sister asked what is the stupid 001.gif supposed to mean. I
looked at my sent messages and it is in each message located as an attachment
to open, under the subject line.
I have double checked all my e-mail settings options, defaults, etc. When
I send an e-mail I cannot see the attachment. I even turned off my
signature. I am annoying all of my contacts. I don't have that many to
spare. Can anyone help me?

Thank you for asking. 663 bytes image001.gif, mail.comcast.net cable, using
office 2003 html, I cleared my signature in e-mail options in case it was
associated with the phantom 16x16 bit gif.

I am having the same problem. I will describe it, with possible clues below:

[Problem Descripiton]

With all of my outgoing HTML (not plain text) formatted emails, an
attachment called image001.gif is attached w/o my knowledge or desire.

[Background Info]

I use MS Word as my email editor. The image that is attached is an image of
a non-default bullet from "bullets and numbering" that I selected in an email
some long time ago. I reset my "bullets and numbering" to default values,
but this did not resolve my problem. I will bet that somehow "bullets and
numbering" using MS Word as my HTML email editor is the related to the
problem, but I am not sure. I am equally frustrated as Hamlit.

[Call to Action Please]

Please provide any ideas you have on how to stop a gif file containing a MS
Word bullet from being attached as image001.gif to ALL outgoing HTML emails
that I send regardless of the contents of the HTML email.

Thanks so much in advance for any advice you have.

find and rename the normal.dot file - that should clear the style that added
it.
