Outlook 2003; Question about two default attachments in HTML Message Format

Hello,

When I send an e-mail message in HTML message format, the recipient also receives two default attachments, image001.png and image002.png (see enclosed images). The first image is 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 whem composing messages in Outlook. I have two other similar buttons, representing macros that sets the default languages to Swedish and US English. None of these toolbar button images are ever attached to my e-mail messages, even though I set the default language to either of these when I compose documents. Only the UK button image is ever attached to the e-mail messages.

I read somewhere, might just be this newsgroup, that when you use the RTF message format, another file (not one of the two mentioned above) is attached that 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:

1. Why are these two files attached by default when using the HTML message format?

2. What information does 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?

Looking forward hearing about one, or more, solution to this problem.

Best regards,
