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.

    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.

  • How can I sent photos as attachment rather than embedded in the email?

    For work, I need to send photos to my editor via email. In Mail, the jpgs automatically become embedded in the body of the the email, but my editor would prefer to receive them as attachments. Is there any way to send photos as attachments in Mail, rather than embedded email itself?

    LaSylphide, the Mail forum shows up as one of the categories within the "Mac OS and System Software" forum. Click on whichever version of OSX you're using, and you'll see the list of categories.
    There are several threads on this topic, and I've seen three solutions:
    1. Check the "Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" box. Some people say it works, some say it doesn't.
    2. Open Terminal and type:
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
    Some people say this works, some say it doesn't.
    3. In Mail > Preferences > Composing, make sure "Message Format" is set to "Plain Text." Once again, some say this works, some say it doesn't.
    Hopefully, one of those will solve your problem. There may also be a setting in your editor's email program that would solve it, but I'm assuming that's a Windows app and I haven't worked with Windows since 1993, so I'm no help there.

  • Email Photos as Attachments from Lightroom 5

    Is it possible to email photos as attachments (jpg), not embededed within email?  Mac users report when they receive the email, photo is only embedded, there is no attachment so they cannot download.

  • Linked images rather than Embedded Images

    Is there a way to have an image in a Pages document be linked rather than embedded? The intention would be to maintain photo quality but reduce the size of the document. This would be similiar to indesign.
    Cheers.

    Hello Bryan,
    Pahes has not such a function. All you can do is to place a link by hand into the document package folder. This means to show the document in the Finder, do a control-click onto it's icon and choose the item "Show Package Contents" from the appearing menu. Now you will see a new window with all the content of the document in it. Take the images out and place a link with the exact name plus ending of the image into the folder. But be sure to place a symbolic link (type into Terminal: "ln -s <path>/<imageName>", when you have navigated with: "cd <documentPackgeFolderPath>" into the document package folder) or this will not work.
    If you think this is the kind of way that works for you than use it. But I think this is no way for a production workflow.

  • Email photos as attachments from Lightroom

    Is it possible to email photos as attachments from Lightroom?  If so, how?  When I use the export function in Lightroom to email photos, they are imbedded in the email (gmail), not attached as separate files.

  • I use Mail. How do I attach a file as an icon rather than showing the full text in the message?

    I use Mail for my email messages. How do I attach a file as an icon rather than showing the full text in the message box?

    Glad you got it working! Incidentally, if you have a relatively new Apple mouse (Magic Mouse or Mighty Mouse should work), you should be able to enable right-click, if you'd like it, by going to System Preferences - Mouse - and turning on "Secondary click". Third-party mice, like Logitech or Microsoft, should have right-click automatically.

  • Attached rather than embedded?

    In Mail (and Tiger), how can I receive messages with attachments, such as photos, not embedded in the text? Can attachments -- to be clicked on -- be indicated at the top or bottom of the message?
    Thanks!

    The Mail.app displays all photo/image type attachments with received messages inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default which cannot be turned off. Inline or viewed in place attachments are not embedded.
    The same when attaching such files to a Mail.app message. Although image/photo and smaller PDF attachments (1-2 pages) appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default before being sent, depending on the recipient' s email client and available preference settings such attachments may appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened by the recipient or as attached files only which must be opened separately for which the sender has no control over.
    You can try a plugin for the Mail.app called Mail Attachments Iconizer which is Shareware ($6.00).

  • Linking rather than embedding movies

    Hi,
    I have been using Keynote for several years and have always embedded my movies within my presentation (i.e., selecting "copy audio and movies into document" during the initial save). Despite embedding the movies, I still keep a local copy of each in the same directory.
    I'd like to, at the very least, link to rather than embed movies in future presentations, but don't know how that will affect portability. I often create my presentation on one machine and present using another. To that end:
    1) Does anyone know how Keynote stores the location of media files that are not embedded? Are they absolute or relative?
    2) Also, is there any way to "undo" embedding in existing Keynote files for which I had selected "copy audio and movies..." the presentations were created?
    Thanks in advance.

    >Someone probably knows better then me, but can't you
    embed the font in the library and then refer to it programatically?
    Yes, you can do this, but this is a bit kludgy in my opinion.
    I'd rather not HAVE to know that there is a font in the library
    that I need to use. I'd rather be able to take the font of a
    textfield that I am already using and then use the font that is
    already embedded in that textfield to create create new textfields.
    Creating a font symbol in the library is just adding extra
    weight to the SWF file. If I have a textfield on the stage that
    already has the font outlines, then adding the same font to the
    library is just extra weight. But again it's not just a weight
    issue - I'd rather not have to know that the font is in the library
    to begin with.
    I'd rather be able to say "Hey, you know that textfield on
    the stage? well, use the same font for a new textfield? What's the
    font that the textfield is using? I don't know and I don't care.
    Just use the same font."

  • IMovie 10 imports the original photo from iPhoto rather than the cropped

    I am trying to make a video using iMovie 10 and iPhoto. iMovie is displaying the original versions of photos rather than the cropped ones that I edited in iPhoto. Is anyone else having this problem? Using a MacBook Pro, OS 10.9 Mavericks. When I used iMovie 9.0.9 I did not have this problem. I am going to use iMovie 9.0.9 for this project as I need to get in completed quickly.

    iOS 8 edits are represented in a format, that iPhoto and Aperture cannot read. When you download your photos with Image Capture instead of with iPhoto, you may see sidecar files "IMG_20XX.AAE", or similar. These are the edited versions of your photos, describing the filters and other settings. The problems is, that there there are not yet any apps on the Mac, that can read these files.  We'll just have to wait a bit.
    See Apple's support document at this link:
    iPhoto and Aperture don't have edits to photos you import from iOS 8 devices - Apple Support

  • Is it possible to Archive by folder, rather than selecting each email

    I do project work, sort email by project & want to keep the project folders intact, not split up by Year

    Hello Matt,
    Thank you for responding. I know for sure that I had selected 'keep folder structure,' so no problem there, worked perfect.
    Bonehead here had apparently selected Option #2, (year) rather than Option # a single folder). I changed the setting per your directions, tested it and walla, problem solved.
    Is 'File by Year' the default TB setting?
    This is how it appears in Settings <enter> Copies and Folders <enter> Archive Options <enter> When Archiving files, place in:
    A single folder
    File by Year
    File by Year_Month
    <OK, enter>
