You do NOT want AVG or any other AntiVirus application scanning your email!
In general ALL local email scanners should be considered incompatible with
ALL emails clients at some level - its entirely in the nature of the beast
that the way they must work will eventually cause problems with email flow,
not an "IF", but a "WHEN".  Email scanning belongs on an email server.  The
resident, local file system scanner, if kept current, will take care of
anything that might slip through a server based email scanner.  Disabling
the email scanning module is seldom sufficient, in most cases, the
application must be uninstalled, then re-installed without the email
scanning module.

Uninstall AVG. Reinstall using the custom install option,
which will enable you to unselect the email scanning module.

it is probably not a problem with AVG but with the format of the messages.
messages formatted in HTML can appear as attachment.
if you have selected the option to read in plain text only this may be what is happening.

 The paper clip ikon shows when there is not any attachment.  I
 understand that this is caused by using AVG Free to scan the incoming
 e-mail.
 Does anyone know if I upgrade to the full paid version of AVG will this
 be corrected?

 I have Vista 64 home premium and explorer for e-mail.

 Thank you for any help.
