Outlook unwanted attachments - 3 image00*.gif files

[Guest]

Every email I send via Outlook 2003 now attaches 3 image00*.gif files 257 bytes each, these contain blue dots. Files do not contain viruses but recipients claim large files taking time to download. Does not occur if message typed in Hotmail or Yahoo. A test email sent to ntlworld web email gave this coding
v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} .shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);
How can I eliminate these unwanted attachments please?

What mail message format are you using? Do you have a signature designated
with a .gif? Are you using stationery or styles if using Word as the
editor?
