Why does OE indicate that there are attachments to most incoming emails (by
showing paperclip) - when most of these emails were never sent with
attachments?

If the message contains any HTML and you are reading in Plain Text, you will
see the paper clip.

Also, if you are using AVG for your anti-virus and have e-mail scanning
enabled, that can cause the issue as well. Turn off the e-mail scanning
feature. It is a redundant layer of protection that eats up CPUs and causes
a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your
up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently.

You are probably set to read all mail in plain text, the messages that show
a paperclip are rich text mails, to view them as sent use the following key
combination Alt then V then H.
