Junk card created when attaching Outlook file

When I drag an Outlook email into Trello to save as an attachment, an extra card is created titled From Subject Received Size Categories. I created a Butler task to automatically archive those junk cards, but have to manually delete them from the archive when we clean up a board before closing.

Why are these cards created? If I can't stop them, how can I permanently delete them via Butler?

Hi Kerry,

I could reproduce this issue myself, would you mind sharing an example file with me so I can dig a bit deeper?

Thanks, Vini. 

Here's an example.
- I created 3 cards (Card 1a, Card 2a, Card 3a)
- I drag an Outlook msg file to Card 1a from my desktop to attach it
- It successfully attaches
- But it also creates a 4th "junk" card that I don't need

Is there a solution for this - I am a new TRELLO user and having the exact same issue

The workaround is to create the card first and open the dialog.  Then drag the attachment.

It's easy to replicate.  Simply drag the email attachment directly onto the 'add a card' in the swimlane.
