I finally solved this problem with the help of SUPERAntispyware. It was, in
fact, a virus. Malwarebytes Anti -malware did not find it. Now, how do I
remove the results of ALT V H? It does not toggle on/off. All my messages
and replies are still grouped?

You are doing Alt V V V, to get to Define Views.

I asked you to do Alt V H.

I am running out of thoughts.

You do have the Preview Pane enabled? What anti-virus program are you
running?

Damn. If it were Outlook Express, I would just tell you to create a new
identity, but that doesn't cut it in WinMail.

If you haven't rebooted yet, do so now.

You could try removing the account, rebooting and adding it back. This is
a POP3 account, right?

Download and run this tool as well.

Bruce, thanks for your help. I accomplished the following:

1) I cleared the TEMP and TEMPORARY INTERNET folders.

2) I set the encoding to Western (ISO) in Internet Explorer.

3) I made sure that "Read All Messages In Plain Text" is NOT checked.

I still have the problem. It must be related to Winmail or Vista on my
PC
since not only do the Inbox emails I receive show as attachments but,
every
saved email (Some years old) in ALL my folders also show as attachments
when
I try to open them. I cannot find any option in Winmail that might
cause
this other than the one I made sure was unchecked.

I also did the following:

1) I just setup an old PC running Windows XP and Outlook Express on my
network. I used it to pull my email and it all looked good. Came in
clean
and not as attachments.

2) I installed Windows Live Mail on my Vista machine, pulled my mail and
guess what, they are all attachments.

This must be a VISTA problem with Winmail and WinLiveMail and maybe
other
email programs? Any ideas where to go next?

This should apply to WinMail as well.

Outlook Express message appears blank and has an ATT000XX.txt or an
ATT000XX.htm attachment:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=312351

And from:
http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/decode.htm

Besides the problem described in this article with temporary files,
Outlook Express may have a blank message if Internet Explorer is set at
View, Encoding to Auto-Select. If so, disable the Auto-Select in
Internet
Explorer and choose instead Western European (ISO). If your program has
an
option to read HTML messages in Plain Text, the HTML version of the
message may appear as an ATT0001.HTM attachment (the number may vary).

message
Every one of my new or saved emails is showing up as an
attachment?
The
To,
From, Subject and date are correct.

They are all displayed correctly when I open the attachment.

They all have this format: ATT0000XX.htm (XX.X KB)

Alt V H has no lasting effect, all it does is show a plain text message in
HTML format.
Selecting the next message cancels that view.

To remove the grouping of messages use Alt V V G :-))
Or view>current view select only show all messages.
