Unwanted file sent in attachment

I am using a sequencer to run some jobs to create a report. At the end of the sequencer I have an FTP stage that sends out the generated report. Whenever I receive the report in my inbox there is a second, unwanted, text file included in the attachments. It always starts with ATT and never has any text in it. Is there a way to not have this file included automatically?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give us.

I think you need to stop using a microsoft outlook system for your mail.

The file is not really sent but the way the MS mail server works with smtp makes this empty attachment get appended to the message. I know that you can turn this off but can't recall how - check MS pages for a description on how to stop that from happening.

Well, it only shows part of what you said, but I think I know where you were going with it. Thanks for your help.

Sorry, I thought I had made it an un-premium post as it didn't really answer your question. I've changed it now.
