Ahh thank you Bruce, can I change this format so not to confuse, my wife
keeps thinking there are attachments in her e-mails from work which she is
missing...

You are reading in Plain Text and the e-mail contains HTML. This will
show the paper clip.

90% of our e-mails received have paper clips showing but most do not nor
should they have attachments.. I even just sent ourselves a e-mail from
another account we have and attached nothing to it and yet it shows the
paperclip... Why is this showing up??
