Can i send images by email as attachments rather than embedded in email

can i send images by email as attachments rather than embedded in email

How the email message looks in Mail is fairly irrelevant to how it will look to the recipient.  An image attached to an email message is an attachment regardless of how the client displays it.  Some will display it inline, others as an icon in a list of attached files.  Regardless, it is an attachment and should be capable of being opened, saved to another location, etc.
Unfortunately, some Windows email clients (*cough* Outlook *cough*) are absolutely crippled when it comes to email standards, and make it difficult for recipients to view or save some attached images.  You can better ensure success with Outlook by using Windows-friendly attachments and only sending plain text email, rather than HTML email.  However, Outlook is still Outlook, and it does not play well with others.
If you must communicate with people who use Outlook  try uploading your photos to an album on Picasa, Flikr, Shutterfly, etc, and then send people a link instead.  Or convince them to use a real email client, like Thunderbird.

  • Emailing photos as attachments rather than embedded in email text

    Hi
    I have set my mail preferences to send emails as plain text rather than RTF.
    Here is what happens
    Route 1) I export a photo from iphoto to my desktop, then open the Mail program, create a new email to my friend who uses Outlook on WIndows, and ATTACH the photo from my desktop. Whilst from my mac end, it looks as though the photo is embedded in the text of the email, when my friend receives it in Outlook, the photo is "attached" just as I wanted it to be, and is not embedded in the text. So route 1 works
    Route 2) I select the photo in iphoto and click the Email icon within iphoto at the bottom right of the screen. The email program opens and the photo appears (as before) to be embedded in the email text rather than attached. This time when I send this to a friend using outlook on Windows, the email arrives with the photo still embedded in the body of the email, and not as an attachment. So this route does not work
    Any ideas why route 2 is overriding the preference settings an sending in RFT (assuming that is what it is doing)? Can I change this?
    Is there a way to make the "Email" icon in Mail work the same way - i.e. to attach the photo as an attached file rather than embed in the text of the email?
    I ask because I send photos for people to save in original size and format so they can print - embedded photos in the text are no good for this
    Thanks

    You should deselect having iPhoto include any caption or file names. Having those following each photo is likely the source of this behavior. When sending to such recipients, you should have all attachments last in the message, and with no text following or between them.
    Also, when the message appears in the Compose window, an extra safeguard is to then click on Format in the menubar, and choose Make Plain Text. I use Aperture, rather than iPhoto, and always do this step, and would also do with iPhoto.

  • How can I send pictures or email from my desktop to a cell phone?

    How can I send pictures or email from my desktop to a cell phone?
    I use Gmail for my emails.

    By sharing playlists you mean sending the list of song titles along with the songs themselves you can't.  That would violate Apple's contracts with the studios regarding sharing music, videos, books, etc.  Which is strictly forbidden. With the single exception that I am aware of which is Home Sharing.
    If you just want to share the list of song titles you could take a screen shot and email that.  Hold down the home button and press and release the power button.  The image is then stored in your camera roll.

    how come I can't send Numbers via email?

    Are you trying to send by Gmail? Gmail will not accept Numbers 3 documents as attachments. There is some incompatibility in the format.

  • Moved hosting of email and now can't send or receive emails

    did a search on the forum but can seem to find a solution to my problem. 
    so has any one ever had any problems with removing an email account (with estreet) and then adding a new account (with Dreamhost.com) to a blackberry?
    it is the same email address but we moved the hosting last night.... vocapr.com
    My client can't send or receive email but isn't getting an error message ... just nothing is happening. She can send and receive via Outlook and on my iphone.
    we also did a hard reboot but it still won't send or receive emails.
    Please advise.

    Hi,
    If your using BIS - Log into your BIS account and delete the email address and recreate it again - the email server details  are pointing to the wrong email server.
    If your using BES ,then the BES needs to get the correct Mail Server details - Delete the user form the BES and add them back, then reactivate the Handset.

  • I can't send or receive emails from my Ipad. Support didn't fix it

    I can't send or receive emails. I tried to turn it off and on. I also tried to open all the servers and nothing worked. Please help. This is the older Ipad and I don't want to purchase anything if I don't have to.

    I don't fully understand what the System Reset does but I've found that it cures many ills.  It's easy, quick and harmless:
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
    A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
    Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide.  Pay special attention to page 162.  Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
    Finally,  the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less   comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

  • HT201318 I have been told by iCloud that I can't send any more email today.

    I have been told by iCloud that I can't send any more email today.  I've sent my maximum.  I was prepared to upgrade, but apparently I'm at the maximum of 50 GB.  Any suggestions?

    It's nothing to do with your storage levels: there are limits placed on the numbers of emails you can send.
    I quote:
    iCloud has several safeguards to ensure that only iCloud members can send messages using the iCloud outgoing mail server. Among these safeguards are reasonable limitations on:
    The total number of messages you can send each day (200 messages)
    The number of recipients to whom you can send each day (1000 recipients)
    The maximum number of recipients per message (100 recipients)
    The size of incoming and outgoing messages (20 MB)
    iCloud email has been designed primarily for personal use. Sending unsolicited bulk email messages through iCloud email servers is prohibited. To review the iCloud membership agreement and acceptable use policy, please see the iCloud Terms and Conditions.
    If you have reached these limits you will have to wait until tomorrow.

  • Can I send a delayed email from an iPad? if so, how?

    How can I send a delayed email from my iPad?

    The only way would be to draft the E-mail and then close the iPad.  A draft would be created that would, I think, be sent the next time you turn the iPad on.
    There is no "time delay" function.
