Mailbox is doubling in size daily

I have an extreme situation. I have a user that their mailbox is growing in
size too quickly. I am not seeing the user being used as a relay as I would
expect his inbox to fill up. What looks like is happening is that any email
with a file attachment, the file attachment is increasing in size. A simple
Visio document that is less than 1MB in size is now listed as being 122MB in
size in the mailbox. I do not know what is causing the file attachments to
grow. I am currently running Virus Scans to look for trouble but I would
expect everyone to be affected and it is only the 1 user. I am getting ready
to delete the mailbox and start over.

Any help would be appreciated.
