Are you using AVG for your anti-virus by chance? It's a good program and I
use it myself, AVG Free. But if you have e-mail scanning enabled, it can
cause this problem.

I always recommend not using e-mail scanning for a number of reasons. You
will still be protected. This is just a redundant layer of protection that
was added to make the user feel more secure, when they already are secure,
and it causes a lot of problems such as yours.

Bruce, "Read all messages in Plain Text" was unchecked.. the Block images
in Security was not so I checked it.. Still paper clips for most
messages...
Any other suggestions?

Tools | Options | Read. Uncheck: Read all messages in Plain Text. But in
the Security tab, keep "Block images............" checked so HTML Spam
will not validate your address as active.

Ahh thank you Bruce, can I change this format so not to confuse, my wife
keeps thinking there are attachments in her e-mails from work which she
is missing...

You are reading in Plain Text and the e-mail contains HTML. This will
show the paper clip.

90% of our e-mails received have paper clips showing but most do not
nor
should they have attachments.. I even just sent ourselves a e-mail
from another account we have and attached nothing to it and yet it
shows the paperclip... Why is this showing up??
