For the past 2 weeks almost all of the emails have been coming in as
attachments. I went to ToolsOptionsRead tab and the box in front of plain
text and it is already unchecked. Has AT&T made any changes in settings?
Outgoing emails are just fine.

It could be being caused by your Antivirus software, try disabling the email
scanning of in & out mails, it serves no useful purpose, keep your main
definitions up to date.
Are you using AVG Antivirus? It is known to do this.

I have AVG on 8 machines that I control, not one has ever turned email into attachments.
Where did you get that information.

No idea? Then again, I have been here for a year or two Richard.
Take a look at this thread as an example:

Their are hundreds to pick from, but searching AVG & Attachments makes it
difficult to locate them, not that I need to? :-)

Interesting, link, and true. But it has nothing to do with "AVG causes email to come as
attachments"
I have been a year or two also Mac. I taught computer topics at a college for 6 years and have
consulted for over 15 years. Your observation just does not have any backup.

Hi Richard, I did originally say "It *could* be being caused by your
Antivirus software", the OP said "coming in as attachments" could possibly
mean "coming in with attachments"? We will see.

I only run 4 machines at home with AVG, and I have never seen the behaviour
either, but as I said "It is known to do this".

BTW, I worked for 33 years in the coal mines. Your & my history are not the
question :-)

An interesting discussion Richard, thanks.

If you haven't already done it, shutdown and restart Windows. This
sometimes fixes the problem.
- If you still have a problem then try Start, Run and enter:
regsvr32 inetcomm.dll
- If that doesn't help, then see if the fix in this article applies:
OLEXP: Message Appears Blank and Has an ATT000XX.txt or ATT000XX.htm
Attachment
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=312351
- If that doesn't help, then in Internet Explorer, select View,
Encoding and uncheck Auto-Select and choose instead "Western European
(ISO)". Then try reading your messages.
