For some time, when I send emails with no attachment using Outlook
Express, tech.gif always shows as an attachment. With emails with
attachments such as Word or Excel files, the attachment shows up as tech. gif
to the
recipient, who cannot open or properly view the file. This also happens
with a data base file. I have a work around, i.e., to sign on my Earthlink
Web mail online and use that to email attachments, but this is a big pain. At
least some of the recipients have AOL. I believe I have cleaned my computer
of any viruses, using Avast, Panda Online and others to no avail.
