Some email programs automatically include attachments, such as 'business cards' or vcards I think they are called. Outlook Express seems to include extraneous garbage along with the email. They are usually small and inocuous (sp?), and unavoidable. But these aren't the same as attaching a 75K JPG to an email. The mail reader I use (Eudora Lite) has a feature that prevents downloading any message that contains more than x number of bytes. I set x to be 50K in my case. Anything larger, I am warned about it, and am given the option of downloading it or not, at my pleasure. Also, I set an option that automatically deletes most attachments from the attachments folder when I trash the originating email. Dan C.
