Attachments arrive embedded in message text

1.Attachments arrive embedded not as an attachment???

For some reason When I receive some emails the word file 
is embedded into the message as gibberish, not as a .doc 
file, yet others who are part of our discussion group 
receive the attachment just fine?
Is this a setting that I am missing?

2.Attachments have lost descriptive text, which now appears embedded in email text

Thanks in advance, if anyone has a suggestion.

Attachments downloaded from a list serve used to display fine (subject
of the attachment).
Something changed.
Now attachments are displayed as a list or array, of incomprehensible
attachment titles.
Within the text of the email there IS a list of the attachments.
I now have to find the correct attachment within the body of the
email, count and see what number  the attachment is (like #3 of 4
attachments) and then count along the list of attachments outside the
message box and open that attachment number.

What a pain!

I tried right clicking > select all the attachments > View menu >
and can't find a selection that solves the problem.

Ideas?

3.jpg attachments are embedded in text of email message

at some time in the past (don't know exactly when), i noticed that
attaached jpg and other image files were visible in the text of the
e-mail. other types of attachments such as .doc do not get opened in
the text. i am unsure whether my attached jpegs are being opened and
embedded, or whether this is the so-called 'slide show' effect which
was an option in earlier versions of outlook express.

i am using a dell dimension 4300 with win xp home edition.   i have
installed service pack 1 and all other updates except for service pack
2.  i am using internet explorer version 6 and outlook express version
6.  in outlook express tools\options\send\ and both html windows, the
'enable picture to be embedded' choice was initially checked, but
unchecking in both places did not prevent the embedding of the jpeg.
the attached jpegs are still shown in the e-mail and can be opened
normally by clicking.  the embedded image is present in the message
before sending and in the sent folder.

i have nod32 antivirus, adaware, and microsoft anti spyware, all of
which give clean scans.  the computer appears to be working well
otherwise.

any suggestions for blocking the embedding/slide show would be greatly
appreciated.

Brian - thank you very much for your speedy reply.

My Outlook email format is and has been set to HTML format, except for a day 
when I changed it to Rich-Text as an experiment to see if that would let my 
images thru.  I did not make any difference.  The people that got things OK 
in HTML before still worked in RichText and the people that failed before, 
still failed.  Soooo it does not appear to be a function of how I have my 
email formating set up.

You indicate that recipients may have their "... ...Contact record 
configured so that they always receive Rich Text..."  

I can find no such setting in the email Config options and since we are not 
talking about any Contact exchanges here (certainly no one has imported my 
Contact name from a CSV file that I am aware of) I am at a loss to comprehend 
what you might mean here.

Also noting that virtually all Mac users are experiencing failures with my 
embedded images, what does that tell you?  I thought that Macs did an 
exceptional job of reading HTML emails (at least my iPhone sure does!) so why 
would Mac users struggle with my emails?

Are there any tests you can suggest?  Can I send you a mail that failed 
miserably every time and see what you get?  Any other thoughts to share?
