Windows Forum / Outlook Express / General Topics / May 2007Extra Email Attachments
When I send out an email with an attachment, extra attachments are automatically added to the email. These attachments are only visible if the recipent of the email double clicks on the proper attachment. I have noticed that the other attachments are of jpg & gif picture files that were stored in my Temporary Internet Files. If I clear my Temporary Internet Files BEFORE I send out an email with an attachment, then there are no extra attachments sent with my email. Can any one give me some ideas on how to resolve this problem with extra attachments being automatically sent ? Thank you in advance. Neil. Delete your Temporary Internet Files (and accept the prompt to delete all offline content) more often.

If I delete my Temporary Internet Files and accept the prompt to delete all offline content, then go to 1 single web site and then close Internet Explorer, I will still have the same problem. So doing this more often does NOT resolve the issue. Neil. > Delete your Temporary Internet Files (and accept the prompt to delete all > offline content) more often.

No, it was just a question. To delete the possibly corrupt cache, log-on as Administrator and manually delete C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files <=this folder. If the problem persists, Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named Identity (File > Identities > Add new identity). Assuming all is well, (1) compact all folders in the old identity, (2) import messages from the old identity into the new one, and then (3) delete the old one (File > Identities > Manage Identities). To avoid such corruption in future: - Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local folders created for this purpose. - Empty Deleted Items folder daily. - Disable Background Compacting [not available in SP2] and frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm - WinXP SP2 only: Do not shut down your machine while Windows is automatically compacting your message store. - Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection. Signature~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) AumHa VSOP & Admin; DTS-L.org > Windows XP, IE 6.0.

Are they also images? What steps are you performing to attach the intended attachments? Do you also see the extra attachments in your Sent Items folder? Are you using Plain Text or HTML format? Have you specified to use any stationery?
