This sounds a lot like the same problem that I had while using Lotus
notes.
Seems the big E-mail companies have some stuff inserted so that certain
options can be used between other Exchange / Notes users (i.e. in a
company
where every one uses the same mail)
but out side in the real world we are all different...
some where in Exchange thier is a setting for this.
the most common protocalls for mail now are POP3, and MIME (also Base
64).
what is / seems to be happening is this attachment is stuff intended for
another Microsoft person.
the opption is set to Microsoft and others so that you get the Text with
an
extra file that normaly would be interprited my Exchange. find this
setting
and turn it off..
i'll do some research an see if i can find something when i get home.
thats what i think...

Randy (and anybody else using Microsoft Mail)
I know of about 10 people so far who have this problem. It seems to
only occur when actually replying to a message (i.e. I have never seen
it in the first message I got from somebody, but I have in ALL others in
that thread).
My current guess is that it has something to do with formatting in the
message text. If you have any Bold, Italics, wierd fonts or colors,
etc. that are incompatible with the rest of the world that might be
causing the problem. Does that fit the bill, or are you using plain
text?

P.S. Is there anybody out there who:
1) Uses Microsoft Mail and DOES NOT have this problem?
2) Has fixed this problem?
