For some time now many of my emails are displayed with the attachment icon
when the message contains no attachment. Not all emails have this problem.
Messages with attachments always have the icon.

Thoughts? Opinions?

OE Tools Options Read Read all messages in plain text (uncheck); or...

1. Uninstall AVG Free anti-virus.

2. Reinstall AVG Free | Do a CUSTOM install and opt-out of installing Email
Scanner module.

Email Scanning provides no additional protection, it's causing the behavior
you're seeing now, and even Symantec says it's not necessary:

QP
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions.

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. Normally, I would just say to
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. However, with AVG you need to remove and
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.
