WLM: Only show paperclip sign when there is an actual attachment (not just a signature with image)?

05. April 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

Is there a way to configure Windows Live Mail (2012) to only show the paperclip sign on an email when there is an actual attachment (such as a Word, Excel, JPG file)?

At the moment the paperclip sign also appears on other messages as well, which makes it impossible to establish which emails have actual attachments.

From searching the internet, the suggestion is that the paperclip signs that appear on messages that do not have an actual attachment may be due to them containing signatures with images.

From looking at my data, the original emails which came from Microsoft Outlook only show paperclips when there are actual attachments. When I imported them into a new Outlook.com account, paperclips appeared on more emails than the originals, and having just synced this account with WLM, there are even more paperclips in WLM than appeared in Outlook.com.

Is there any way to configure WLM to only show the paperclips when there is an actual attachment?

Imbedded pics in emails show as attachments

When I receive emails from people who have an image imbedded in their signature block, I get the attachment icon (paperclip) next to the message but it doesn't actually show as an attachment. It makes things confusing because I don't know which messages really have attachments.

Reducing Picture size when sending by e-mail

I am trying to e-mail pictures and reduce there size. I click on "Photo" (Insert line near paperclip icon). It asks me to install Silverlight...which I did several times (uninstallig and reinstalling). Still doesnt allow me to attach pictures. So I revert to clicking the paperclip icon and attaching full size photos. Anyone have any idea about this issue?

How can I see winmail.dat attachments in incoming Windows Live Emails?

This is happening with mail coming in from my earthlink mail account with winmail.dat attachments. .  The paperclip attachment indicator is visible at the folder level, but cannot be found in the email when it is opened.   I experienced a similar problem with Outlook Express.
