Attachments in Outlook

[Guest]

Hi there.

When I send an email with an attachment, it automatically sends lots of
other attachments as well - all identical in name ('header.htm') and size.
When I click on these attachments to open them in my browser, they're empty.
Why are they attaching like this and what are they? This has only started
happening recently - and only sometimes - and although I'm very computer
literate (if not so much on the tech side, although I can usually sort out
minor problems), I'm completely stuck on this. Now someone's going to tell
me it's blindingly obvious I suppose ....... I hope someone can help me with
this though as recipients of my emails keep complaining. Thanks in
anticipation.

What version of Outlook are you using? If you are using a virusscanner that
integrates with Outlook and does an outgoing e-mailscan disable the
integration and try again.

I'm using 2002 and have avast! antivirus software running. Then again, I've
used that software for a couple of years now but this is a fairly recent
problem. However, I've disabled the scan outgoing email function and will
try it out. If this is the problem though, why doesn't it affect ALL my
outgoing mail?
