If the person sending the attachment doesn't inform you to expect it, its better that you don't see it. Besides, you can leave the inbox with attachments showing, opting to hide it only in your Access-UK folder and others besides. Setting options for one folder within Outlook doesn't make systemic changes throughout the program, though I suspect you could find a way to do so if you wanted to.

IAt is all very well silencing the attachment icon, but if you do, and there is a genuine attachment, how will you know? ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Logue <mailto:peterlogue@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 2:07 PM Subject: [access-uk] Silence the Attachment Icon. Hi all, If you are using Outlook and experience an attachment being read at the beginning of every email. Here's how to get rid of it. Hit Alt V to pull down the view menu. Arrow right into the Current view sub menu. Move to Format Columns and hit enter. You will find yourself in a list view containing the likes of, Importance, From, To, Subject, Attachments, recieved, size, etc. Select Attachments and tab once. You will now be in a selection field where you can change the look of the icon or turn it off. Turn it off and tab to okay. I've just noticed that you can do pretty much the same in Outlook Express by hitting Alt V to pull down the view menu, then select columns from the list, The option to hide attachments is a checkbox that has to be checked.
