Default Paperclip Icons

Suddenly most of my incoming emails arrive with a paperclip icon next to
them but never had attachments sent with them in the first place.

How can I make OE report attachments correctly again?

Many thanks,

Noel

Check the options, if you have it set to read all in plain text then the
HTML part of any incoming HTML email will show as an attachment, if you
click on the clip you should see it.

View menu has an option to view "Message in HTML" that is probably safer
than changing this setting...

Default Paperclip Icons

In Tools / Options I do not have a check in the "Read all in plain text" and
the option on the 'View' menu is greyed out.

I can see how if I change it I get a paperclip on the top right of the
screen but the paperclip I refer to is the small black one to the left of
the header information that appears in the top right pane of Outlook
Express, where incoming messages are shown.

If these are digitally signed messages then they will show the paperclip.
They may also if they are HTML messages that contain images.

Are you using AVG antivirus? Then disable scanning of incoming and outgoing
mail, it serves no useful purpose and is known to cause this problem.

Turn off email scanning in AVG.

Problem solved - I turned it off and my emails all arrive with no paperclip
unless I have an attachment!

I recently had my Norton Anti-virus corrupt and switched to AGV Free until I
solve the problem.

Many, many thanks!

*Do not* go back to Norton. Stay with AVG and live life with a little less
stress.
