Default Paper Clip

Never tried that before. It *might* work the same as removing normal
attachments, but I'm not sure.

Save the message to the Desktop. File | Save as | Desktop | Save. Open it
with Notepad. Highlight and delete the attachment and drag the message back
to a folder in OE.

If you get a lot, this tool does this and more. You might find it
worthwhile.

Also, I forgot to add:

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.

Make sure you reboot when you're done.

Thanks Bruce. Not reading in plain text. Disabled email scanning, how can
I remove the existing clips.

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. 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.

I know a paper refers to an attachment to the right and above the
message.
I also have paper clips appearing to the left of emails in the inbox I
know they mean they have an attachment but there some emails that don't
have attachments and they also show the paper clip. How can I disable
the clips from appearing?.
