Attachment displays twice on notes document

Question

I have a lotusscript function that creates new documents containing an attachment in a richtext file.

    ...
    Dim docProcess As NotesDocument
    Set docProcess = dbCurrent.createDocument
    docProcess.form = "result"
    ...
    'Attach file
    Dim rtfFile As NotesRichTextItem
    Set rtfFile = docProcess.Createrichtextitem("xmlFile")
    Call rtfFile.Embedobject(EMBED_ATTACHMENT, "", filePath + fileName, "file")

    Call docProcess.save(False, False)

My form design looks like this

$V2AttachmentOptions is computed for display, value "0" xmlFile is a (editable) richtext field

However, when opening the document in the Notes client, it looks like this:

We are using Notes V9.01 FP8

How can I hide the attachment displayed below the line?

I found this technote, but that is not related, since I don't open the doc in edit mode (it is created on the server by an agent).

Have you tried not including the fourth parameter? The Designer manual says that it's to be used with OLE/2 objects, not for attachments. The example in the technote contradicts this, but on the other hand I have created many scripts for attachments without the fourth parameter and it's always worked as intended.
