Since I upgraded to AVG 7 all emails from senders also with AVG 7 are now
coming through with the "paperclip attachment" although they don't have
attachments on them.

Turn off 'certify incoming mail' but leave the check incoming mail box
ticked.

Si.
 
Yes. I assumed the "attachment" was the senders outgoing mail certification
message but I was annoyed it showed up as a paperclip.

You may be right.

I don't certify or check my outoing mail - I check everything that comes in
and assume that I've nothing dodgy to send out.

Si.
 
I think I've found the answer - although it's not entirely satisfactory. The
sender should not certify their outgoing mail - or just with attachments
only - or send in plain text (not HTML). The recipient can't of course
control this.

...something any number of us have mentioned in the past. Not only is
it silly to have that advertisement in your email, there is no way it
can "certify" that your computer is free of viruses.
or just with attachments only - or send in plain text (not HTML).

Amen. Use Plain Text and cut your email byte size by 75%.
The recipient can't of course control this.

Unfortunately, Aunt Edna loves to send using 24 pt green italic text,
with flowered stationery.

:-(

The answer then is to get a decent email client :-)

I suggest Quicksilver. Absolutely NO html rendering, in fact, it
strips out html from incomeing mail! Free downloads at:

ftp.quicksilvermail.net/pub/quicksilver

Why not?

Why does my desire to maintain my privacy have any bearing on a bit of free
advice that I choose to give in the form of "Free advice, take or leave as
you see fit"?

The OP had a problem that had to do with html being rendered in their mail
client. I suggested they consider Quicksilver because instead of rendering
html it strips it out of the msg, leaving the reader completly safe from
email that carries little nastys hidden in it's html based content. I've
used it myself for over a year and have NO complaints.

The fact that I chose to respond anonymously to preserve my privacy and
identity has NOTHING to do with it.
