Message Body Duplicated In Attachment

[Tom Hahn]

Outlook 2000

For no apparent reason in the last day or so, messages that I receive in
plain text format have the body of the message duplicated in an attached
text file with the same name as the message subject. This does not happen
with messages in HTML format.

Through experimentation, I am certain that the attachment happens on
incoming POP3 messages. I can send a message to myself (and the attachment
appears) and to others (no attachment appears.)

What is causing this and how do I stop it?

Shut down Outlook and reopen. It may require a system reboot. It is a
problem when Outlook has been open a really long time (week or more, in some
versions, reason unknown)

Thank you. The reboot cured the problem.
