When the person receiving the email looks at the email, he sees an attachment icon, but then clicking on the email to read it, there is no attachment (which I never sent) - why is this icon showing up?

Is the recipient also using Thunderbird, or using a different mail client?

Some mail clients will show that a message has an attachment if there is an embedded image; it seems to vary.

Yes, we both use Thunderbird, as I am both people. My boss requires we send a copy to ourselves of all outgoing mail. This just started occurring today. I may have changed a setting but can't figure out what. What happened was, he noticed that our emails had a business card attached to emails that had the wrong email address (I did manage to find that and fix it), but I may have changed something else in the meantime. I think it may have something to do with a signature to emails.

Thanks everyone for your help - it was the vcard being attached to all emails and I was able to find it and delete from happening anymore - thanks again.
