Weird email attachment

Hi, I'm running WinXP HE, AVG 6.0 AV, Norton Personal Firewall 2003, & OE 6.

Recently all my incoming emails have an attachment included, for example, "
ATT.1234.htm (xxbytes). If I open this, it displays the email as a web page,
although sometimes it shows an "action cancelled" page instead. What's
causing this and how do I stop this?

Incidentally, I have justed removed Norton AV 2003 from my system as it
would not allow emails in, could that be of any significance?

Many thanks,

Den

Means someone has sent you a HTML Web Page or message.
Perhaps by the time you read it, the Web Page is not valid.
As to how to stop it, tell the sending not to send you HTM
files.

Go to Tools->Options->Read tab. Uncheck "Read all messages in plain
text."
