Default Email attachment symbol, but no attachment

As you have now reinstalled without email scanning, I guess it won`t
appear in Services any more.

I take PA Bear`s point about a bloated install, but as it`s in there
now, I probably won`t go to the bother of a reinstall unless something
else goes wrong, on the premise that "if it ain`t broke, don`t fix
it"!

On my PC, this procedure produces AVG 7 Alert Manager Server and
AVG7 Update Service. Please explain where email scanning comes into
either of these.

That may work but it leaves you with a bloated install of AVG
Anti-Virus.

If the message contains any HTML and you are reading in Plain
Text,
you will see the paper clip.

Also, if you are using AVG for your anti-virus and have e-mail
scanning enabled, that can cause the issue as well. Normally, I
would just say to turn off the e-mail scanning feature. It is a
redundant layer of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a
multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting
changes.
Your up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you
sufficiently. However, with AVG you need to remove and reinstall
AVG
and choose Custom Mode. Uncheck E-mail Scanning when you see that
option. For some reason, just unchecking it in the security
center
causes a conflict with the Windows Security Center.

I use XP SP2 and IE7 with OE6. I am getting emails which in the
top
part of the page - where each email has a line comprising from
,subject, sent - it also has an attachment symbol, the paper
clip,
but there is no attachment in the message header in the bottom
preview pane, or when I open it. What is going wrong here? I
assume the symbol should only appear in the line at the top part
of
the page if there is an attachment for that message. Other
messages
I have received have the same symbol on their line and there is
an
attachment in their case.
