The method Michael suggested is the one you need to use to determine whether it's a "real" attachment.

I think the attachment is the starionery that is used for the message. What
i really want to do is be able to work around this attachment, but the
problem is it does not always exist as an attachment.

Is there any way to determine what "type" of attachment exists so i can code
a way around this issue? An attachment type? A file extension for
stationery, etc.?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Using CDO 1.21 or Redemption (www.dimastr.com) you can look for the field
PR_CONTENT_ID. If it exists it´s an embedded attachment and probably one of
those you don´t want to count.

I have code that prompts the user for certain infomation before a message
sent. If there are attachments to the message, certain other infomation
is
necessary. I am attempting to use mailitem.attachments.count to do this,
but
i find that when i send a message, there is a count of one attachment
(some
of the time) in the file when i have included no attachments.

My first guess is that this is because my message is HMTL format and there
is some "invisible" attachment to the message, but i am curious if i am
missing something.

Any suggestions?
