    Thread Notifications Now with Attachment?

    Today the thread notifications that I get when I'm subscribed to a thread have an attachment that seems to be a copy of the notification. Was some change made recently that is causing it?

    Re: Thread Notifications Now with Attachment?

    My email from VBF goes to gmail and I auto-forward it from there to Outlook (2002). Here is what one of the "attachments" looks like. This started in the middle of the night on the 16th and it's consistent.

    That looks like the notification itself. Perhaps when you are forwarding it, something odd happens.

    Not that I think it makes any difference but I'm not actually forwarding the mail from Gmail to Outlook but rather downloading it from Gmail into Outlook via pop/gmail.com

    Stop the forwarding/downloading/whatevering

    Take a look at the notification message as it actually appears in GMail.

    If it look "normal" then manually forward it/download it, then take a look at that.

    Perhaps GMail changed something on you.

    I was able to catch a PM sent to me and look at it in Gmail and it had no attachment, but when it arrived in Outlook it had an attachment. Very strange considering that an email sent to my Gmail account by Hack wound up in my Outlook with no attachment.

    Email header may be processed differently by gmail then a regular email from a regular source.
