Creating email from iPhoto strange behavior
When using the Share by email feature from iphoto, recipients find that the text which I add to the composed email comes to them as an attachment (which they cannot open) rather than being viewed as text in the email.
If I view the sent email and then forward it, the text in the new email and in the forwarded email can be seen normally.
Creating a new email from Mail works as normal.
I've not noticed this before, so wondering if this odd behavior was due to recent security and iLife updates loaded yesterday. Anybody else see this?
No that problem has not been reported here (I do not think) - although I'm not totally clear on what the problem you are reporting is
My recommendation is to set mail as the email client for iPhoto and use it - iPhoto email is missing many features and has been generally problematic for many people - I have not used it for years

Signature photo broken when emailing from iPhoto
I have a photo above my name in my default signature in Mail. When I click the Email" button in iPhoto to send photos via email, my signature photo shows up as and icon that reads "Untitled (82kb)".
The photo in my signature works FINE if I create a new email, but not in the new emails that iPhoto creates with the pictures attached.
I added the photo to the signature field in Mail's preferences by dragging and dropping the .JPG file from the Finder. That, and copying and pasting seems to be the only way to put a photo in a signature. Neither method works when initiating an email from iPhoto.
Mail 2.1
iphoto 5.0.4
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks!Marius,
set the mailer in the iPhoto Preferences to "Mail.app", not to "iPhoto"
iPhoto > Preferences > General
Email Photos using: Mail
This way you will be able to mail your photos directly from iPhoto, but you cannot use the iPhoto cards; use the Mail Photo stationary instead, once the mail panel opens.
For some reason mailing using iPhoto as Mailer works for me only, if I am mailing from my iCloud accoun,t and if Mail is set to use the iCloud account by default.

Error message when trying to email from iPhoto
Just spoke to Apple support because I was unable to email from iPhoto unless I went through Mail (i.e. no templates). I had struggled with this for some months. The patient and helpful Apple people solved the problem after a couple of hours. Two-step verification in iCloud was the source. Since the email originates in the iPhoto app, it is necessary to use an app-specific password in iPhoto/ preferences/accounts/iCloud account.
That's why my wife's computer didn't have the problem. She doesn't have two-step verification enabled.
Thanks to Apple for the excellent support.Yes, LarryHN is right - two-step verification seems to be causing this problem in some cases.
Other forum members reported, that creating an app-specific password is required, see the post below:
Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
https://appleid.apple.com
Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
Click Password and Security in the left column
Click Generate an app-specific password
Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
And...voila' (I hope) -
When I email from iPhoto separate emails with a different photo on each, the email on my iPad opens each photo attachment as the same photo sent on the first email. This only happens when I use iPhoto to email. My daugther was sending pictures this way and at first it worked but now it does this same thing. Any suggestions?
First try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and do the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Second, if the above fails launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the problem persists.

My photos shrink in size when emailed from IPHOTO or attached - How can I fix this. My friends say they can't see my pictures... thanks!!
When you email from iPhoto, you have a choice as to the size of the picture - choose medium and your friends will be able to see them. By the way, do your friends click on the photo attachment in the mail to open it?

When emailing from iphoto with a template, the recipients' address comes up incorrect (a couple of letters are wrong). The addresses are correct in both my email accounts, including the one I am using for the iphoto email. I have corrected the address prior to sending the email, but they come up with the same errors the next time I choose them in the iphoto 11 program. How do I correct thes email addresses? thank you
In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

When i want to send a picture, Outlook opens but no window opens with the new message with the picture ...
Any idea ?Thx.
Trying to find what to ask now
Think the correct question is :
Is there anything to do with Outlook 2011 V 14.2.4 (with Apple script) to make it work (Sending email from iPhoto to outlook) with iPhoto 9.4 in Mountain Lion .
The script made by Apple in iPhoto 9.4 is :
-- Microsoft Entourage.applescript
-- Scope
-- Copyright (c) 2003 Apple Computer. All rights reserved.
on mail_images(email_subject, default_address, image_count, new_files, new_captions, new_comments, cancel_string)
try
tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
activate
set theAccount to default account
tell drafts of theAccount
set new_message to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:email_subject, content:"", account:theAccount}
end tell
set sig to content of new_message
tell new_message
if image_count is 0 then
set the content to new_captions
else
set the content to return & return
end if
repeat with image_idx from 1 to image_count
set this_caption to item image_idx of new_captions
set this_comment to item image_idx of new_comments
set comments to ""
if this_caption is not " " then
set comments to this_caption & return
end if
if this_comment is not " " then
set comments to comments & this_comment & return
end if
if comments is not "" then
set the content to content & comments & return
end if
set this_imagefile to item image_idx of new_files
-- convert the image path from UNIX to Mac
set this_imagefile_path to (POSIX file this_imagefile) as string
make new attachment at new_message with properties {filethis_imagefile_path)}
end repeat
set the content to content & sig
end tell
open new_message
end tell
on error error_message number error_number
log error_message & " " & error_number
if the error_number is not -128 then
tell application "Finder"
beep
display dialog error_message buttons {cancel_string} default button 1
end tell
end if
end try
end mail_images
property ASDScriptUniqueIdentifier : "Microsoft Outlook.applescript"
This do not work with Outlook 2011.
Outlook client is correctly select in the iPhoto preferences.
When i want to send a picture, Outlook opens but no window opens with the new message with the picture ...
Any idea ?

Where can i find the sent emails from iphoto?
Sending emails from iphoto works.
But where can i find the history of my sent emails from iphoto. I can´t find it in mail.
Thanks for help!iPhoto and Mail are two entirely separate apps, so Mail keeps no record of what iPhoto does and vice versa.
iPhoto's mail feature is aimed at folks who use web mail generally, and who wanted templates. It's a handy way to send photos to Grandma, it's not an email client. It doesn't have a history or sent mail box.
Workarounds:
You can set iPhoto to bcc yourself automatically
or
Use Mail. It has templates too, and more of them. -
Why can't email from iPhoto? Keeps giving me an error message not conected to server.

When emailing photos using iPhoto, you are not logging into the mail server to send your mail, you are logging into the iCloud server to send your mail (that's why you won't see a copy in the sent mailbox of your client). You need to use your iCloud password, when selecting to email photos using iPhoto. If you select email photos using Mail, then use the same email password you use with your mail client.
that is not corect - you are logging into the email server tha tyou specify in the preferences - it might be iCLoud - it might be a different service
The solution to the OP's issue is to have the correct information entered for their account -- or to switch to using Mail as the email client

Send an email from iPhoto without the templates
I dislike the email templates in iPhoto. They are very difficult to work with. How can I send an email from iPhoto that is not in one of their templates like it was before iPhoto 11?
iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> General Pane:
Email Photos using... And select your preference from the Dropdown

Where are the receipts of the photos that I email from Iphoto. I can't find a record of those that I have sent.
I am not using it in a "professional manner". Even I need to know who I sent that particular photo to and when and by the way, who are you to define what Apple meant by the design of its software? I think you overstep yourself here. I also think Apple has made every effort to lead people to believe that it serves a dual purpose as a personal as well as business tool. I don't need sarcasm from you or anyone when I am trying to learn that which is hidden (or absent) in the software. Being professional does not necessarily mean for a "business", but rather the level of sophistication and usefulness in the product.
