Re: Paper clip...

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

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.

All my incoming mail comes with a paper clip which is supposed to denote an attachment. However, I get very few attachments. Most of my emails are just text. This has been happening since around the 23rd of February. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated.

TIA, Barney
