editdata.mso attachment

Hi. When sending an email the receiver gets an attachment called edidata.mso
What is this and how do I get rid of it? Thanks.

What kind of email, any?
Which version of Outlook are you using?
Do you have a (fancy) signature configured?

Hi again. Please forgive me, I am not very computer lit and obviously did not
give enough info.
From what I can gather it's any email that I send regardless of whether
there is attachments or not. I don't know what version of Outlook I'm using
other than it's on Windows Vista Home Premium. I don't have any signature at
all configured.

Hi,

Background

editdata.mso can be generated by any Microsoft Office application and is
routinely generated by FrontPage. It is attached to MS Outlook messages sent
in HTML format (plain text and RTF messages are not affected). It is also
created, inter alia, for Word or Excel files saved as HTML. Unfortunately,
editdata.mso can contain macros which can be malicious. For this reason,
Microsoft Exchange Forefront Security generates warning messages and
(depending on configuration) various firewalls and anti-virus applications
may bounce messages with this attachment.

Fix

The fix for Outlook which follows assumes Microsoft Office 2003 Pro and
Vista premium editions. It has not been tested with other OS or products.

Tools:Options:Other:Advanced Options:Add-in Manager
Uncheck: Exchange Extensions property page:OK:OK

Close Outlook, pause, restart.

You will still be able to send HTML messages but they will no longer have
the editdata.mso attachment.

This solution has been successfully tested with messages to a global
corporate network running Exchange Server 2003 and McAfee Corporate Security.
Messages have included various combinations of HTML/attachments/embedded
images.

Have a good day.

John

editdata.mso

Hello
I've been reading these threads
I've tried everything to remove editdata.mso and it still doesn't work

Am running: xp(32); Outlook 2002 + Word 2002

Re-installed Outlook several times
Exchange extensions property pages unclicked (ages ago)

If anyone knows of any other way to remove this, it would be great to know
thanks
Carl
