Unwanted Attachments

[Guest]

Hi - I'm using Microsoft Outlook 2003 and I have recently been alerted to the
fact that every email I send out now contains 4 or 5 small attachments. I
have checked my computer for viruses and this is not causing the problem. I
have opened the attachment and they appear to be little .gif images of the
bullet points I use in Word. Does anyone know how to stop Outlook sending
these out - they're not causing any particular harm as far as I'm aware, it's
just irritating for me and the recipients of my messages.

Thanks,

Adam

Are you using a virus scanner that integrates with Outlook and does an
outgoing mail scan? Disable this integration and try again.

Are you using Word as your mail editor? If so, delete
%AppData%\Microsoft\Templates\normal.dot and try again.
