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.

A while back all the emails started having the attachment icon on them,
even
when there was no attachment. I checked into things, and the only
solution
I saw mentioned was that I might have text-only checked in the "read"
options, and it was treating the html as an attachment. But I looked and
that box is not checked. Anyone have an idea what else it could be?
