Hi Andrew, Yes, this is the reason for attachment icons when you don't have an attachment as such. In a way you have an attachment in the form of what AVG adds to the body of your email. You only see the attachment icon, or paper-clip, if you send html formatted emails. I think once everyone checks that they are sending in plain text, Alt plus O, I think we'll see an end of these icons. What I'm looking for now, is a check box or some other kind of option that may say something in the manner of, Send replies in the format in which they were recieved. I'd like to find such a thing in Outlook so I can uncheck it.
