It would seem that these attachments are something added automatically by Google, not due to any action or inaction by any member of the group, or indeed anything that group members or owners can control. The text is the message that has always been added to the foot of mails by Google, but I notice that since the change, Firefox displays it in grey.

The Last Week, I think, I have been getting Attachments on every post from this Group...

The It Says "Part 1.2".

I understand, if occasionally has an attachment, but not every post...

I have deleted all posts from this forum, that have attachments, unless my own, but, now all posts from your group have attachments, I will plan to cancel receiving emails until I have problems with Webmail, myself, then turn it back on....

I did a search of Part 1.2 and found the following links which suggest someone is using Outlook with the wrong settings, sending something Thunderbird cannot read and Antivirus may rename, also, and how to change the settings so the Thunderbird receivers do not get these attachments.

Good Luck...
