Are you adding signatures to your outbound e-mails?

I usually have trouble with the /vert/ attachments. The /rouge/ attachments
seem to work just fine.

No, no signatures. But just set-up the Outlook and was unaware of attachments
until folks started mentioning it. Thought it was a 1-time thing but it's
continuing.

Are you using an antivirus scanner on outbound mail? If your email provider
adding a footer to your messages?

You never identified as to WHO is your e-mail provider.

Are these e-mails that you send from your workplace? If so, contact
their mail server admin to ask if they are appending content to outbound
e-mails. It's easy to do at the mail server.

If this is not at work, perhaps you are using a freebie e-mail account
at a provider that adds taglines at the end of any outbound e-mails you
send through their service. A large number of freebie e-mail provider
will spamify your posts sent through their mail server. Their spam is
your cost for using their "free" service.

Found solution. This was posted in a CNET forum and it worked.

In Outlook, under Tools, Options, Mail Format:
Remove Microsoft Word as the email editor.

This removed the image001.wmz and image002.gif

Thanks for the help.

That means you definitely had a header or footer enabled in Word.
