Hello,
When I send an e-mail message in HTML message format, the recipient (even when I send to myself) also receives two default attachments, image001.png and image002.png. The first image is a what I would guess a Microsoft image, while the second is a button image that I use in a Word 2003 toolbar. The toolbar image has nothing to do with the e-mail messages as such, apart from, in Word 2003, this image is used to run a macro that set the default language for the document to UK English. However, it's unavailable when composing messages in Outlook.
I have also read your MS Knowledgebase article 278061 "Winmail.dat attachments are included in received e-mail messages in Outlook 2002 or in Outlook 2003", but that article pertains only to messages sent in the RTF format. Apparently, this file contains information about the author, file location, etc. Privacy can obviously be a problem, when composing in Word, but these problems can be overcome rather easily, why my questions only concern the two above mentioned images, image001.png and image002.png:
1. Why are these two files attached by default when using the HTML message format?
2. What information do these two images contain?
3. Why is one of these two images one of my toolbar buttons, how does it end up in the mail message?
4. How can one (I!) get rid of these two images (i.e. them not being attached), apart from resorting to RTF (or Plain Text) message format?
Best regards,
Eric G
