What version of Outlook?

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

After furious head scratching, LetterClick Support asked:

| My users are being confused by paperclip displaying when an email
| contains an embedded in line image, but no file attachments.
|
| This seems like a bug, since the in line GIF or JPG images are MIME
| attachments but NOT file attachments.
|
| This does not occur when the image is a URL to a web server, rather
| than an embedded image.
|
| Any workaround to configure Outlook so this does not happen?
|
| Is it a faulty security patch, or does any one see a case where this
| is not true?
