Outlook is always sending along 2 pictures (image001.png and image002.gif) with my mails. Even if I don't attach any images.

How do I fix this?

screenshot of email Thanks.

EDIT - SIGNATURE

The HTML of my signature:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML xmlns:o = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"><HEAD><TITLE>Company default Signature</TITLE>
<META content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv=Content-Type>
<META name=GENERATOR content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.18854"></HEAD>
<BODY>
<DIV align=left><FONT color=navy size=2 face=Arial><SPAN 
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: navy; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">
<P class=MsoNormal align=left><BR>Cordialement,&nbsp;</SPAN></FONT><FONT 
color=navy size=2 face=Arial><SPAN 
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: navy; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT color=navy size=2 face=Arial><SPAN 
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: navy; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Firstname 
LASTNAME<BR></SPAN></FONT><FONT color=navy size=2 face=Arial><SPAN 
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: navy; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">COMPANY 
Name<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV></BODY></HTML>

EDIT 2 - STATIONERY

I don't use stationery format:

alt text

EDIT 3 - HTML

If I delete the signature (Ctrl+A, Del) in the HTML mode the images always appear. If I use the signature in text only mode, the images disappears...

Are you using a custom signature in outlook? – Klaus Byskov Hoffmann Dec 29 '09 at 11:55
@klausbyskov: Yes... but there is only some HTML text, no images. – serhio Dec 29 '09 at 12:09
Please post the HTML from your signature. – Mark Dec 29 '09 at 12:42
Are you using the "stationery" feature? – Al Everett Dec 29 '09 at 13:06

Sadly this question has broken images now. @serhio if you are still around, do you have these screenshots? – Gareth Aug 18 '11 at 4:09

You're probably using stationary on your emails (backgrounds on your emails). You will need to disable this feature from your emails if you want to stop having attachments sent with every single email you send.

take a look at my Edit 2, apparently I don't use a stationery format (<Aucun> = <None>) – serhio Dec 29 '09 at 14:18

  1. Delete the folder: c:\documents and settings\username\application data\microsoft\signatures, then create a new sig in outlook. (it uses that folder)

  2. Turn off "Word as editor(1)", test, revert change.. sometimes you just need to take office by the back of the process and shake it!

  3. Have you made any changes to the normal.dot file for word?

  4. Do you have any addons installed?

so. 1) deleted, recreated. 2) turned off, sent a mail in text mode. receive in gmail with 0Kb wimail.dat, receive in outlook without attachments(however I believe outlook just does not display them, because mails arrives with the X-MS-Has-Attach: yes param). 2.1) Closed outlook. Restarted outlook. turned On(word as editor) send a mail in gmail. receive an 0kb winmail.dat. 2.2) sent a mail in HTML mode. receive in gmail with 2 attached images as usual, gif and png. 3. Yes, I modified normal.dot setting default font to Arial. 4. What do you mean? in Outlook AFAK - no... – serhio Feb 21 '10 at 15:03
Just did a quick googly, found this: news.cnet.com/look-out-outlook-gmail-adds-in-line-images (funny, but not an answer) Have you set a signature using OWA by any chance? (it should be overridden by your client sig, but who knows) You could run HiJackThis to remove BHO's.. might be malware. – Grizly Feb 21 '10 at 21:33
