Bug report: Including attachment inadvertently

This may be a bug or a new user issue. I am not sure why one attachment was put in my email.

I created the message below as a test of the software. It was in TEXT/HTML mode. I included two inline pictures that were referenced from the Internet. I had no intent of attaching them at all, and had no attachment box. Both picture URLs were directed to the Internet (not renamed to point to an attachment).

The result was that all emails sent had both Internet inline pictures plus an attachment of just one of the pictures. This resulted in a redundant image and larger email than I intended to send. I have no idea why the one attachment was included.

The preview box only showed two inline images, not the third that came as an attachment. Both images are still on the Internet, so can be referenced if they are causing the problem.

Upon looking back at the MESSAGE tab, I do see that there is one attachment with a name that I never created. I was not savvy enough with the program to realize it was there as the attachment section was closed/minimized.

Does MaxBulk Mailer automatically generate attachments when entering URLs from the Internet in TEXT/HTML messages?

The only way to add an attachment is dragging and dropping it to the application or pressing the attachment panel "+" button. MaxBulk Mailer is completely unable to add attachments on its way.
