Embedded vs Attached photos in Mail

It doesn't matter what email server I use, all of my photos embed. I need them to attach. I have a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.7.5 using Mail 5.3. Can you help?

The longer list is:
[√] use Windows-friendly attachments
Place the attachment at the very beginning of the text or at the very end of the text, or send it by itself in its own email with subject: Photo Attached (nt) ... stands for no text.
Don't let iPhoto send it, attach it manually in Mail.

How do I resize attached photos in Mail Ver. 7.0

how do I resize attached photos in Mail Ver. 7.0 on iMac

I don't think there's a setting in Mail to make this a default. a ittle searching revealed an app that claims to do it. Attachment Tamer is free to try before you buy to see if its worth it for you or if you just want to do it manually.

Attaching photos in mail on ios7

In the old ios6 when attaching photos to mail you had the choice to resize the photos, this is now not available in ios7, see how it worked in ios6

Can anyone help

You are right, this option seems to be gone. I am pretty sure this is a bug, though, because the option is not even appearing when I am using cellular data and I can't imagine Apple wants us to sent 3MB images over cellular. You should sent feedback about this ( http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html ).

Attaching photos in mail

Is there a way to attach photos in email as an ATTACHMENT, not embedded in the email?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That's just how Mail presents the photo. If you want it to appear as an icon Control-click on the image and select "View as Icon". The recipient will see it however their mail client is set up.

How can I attach photos to Mail as a thumbnail?

When I attach photos or PDF documents containing photos, to a mail message, the whole photo appears as part of the message. This provides problems at the recipient end as it can take a long time for the mail message to fully open.
What I want is to be able to attach a photo as a thumbnail which can then be opened by the recipient at a convenient time.
I have searched through Preferences and online help but to no avail. Does anyone know if this can be done and how?

The Mail.app displays all image/photo type attachments and smaller PDF attachments (1 page only) inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default for sent and received messages.
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 (as with the Mail.app) or as attached files only which must be opened separately to be viewed for which you have no control over.
And the same is true in reverse.
For example, such attachments for a Windows Outlook or Outlook Express user appear as attached files only (not shown inline or viewed in place within the body of the message) before and when sending the message but when received by a Mail.app user, the attachments will appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default when the message is opened regardless.
You can control-click on an inline or viewed in place attachment and select View as Icon but such attachments will appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default regardless when opened by a Mail.app recipient.
All this depends on the recipient's email client. The only way to prevent this going either direction is for the sender to archive all attachments as a zip file attachment.

Why can't you easily attach photos from Mail?

I'm kind of scratching my head that there is no option in Mail to attach photos or videos. I know that I can exit from Mail, go to Photos, select Copy, select photos, exit Photos, go back to Mail and paste them, but that's about 7 steps too many for my liking. Why isn't there an attachment feature right in the Mail app?

Because we're talking about creating an email in the Mail app _on an iPhone_, not in the Mail app on a Mac. Scroll up to check the forum you're posting in...

Attaching photos to Mail then saving by Outlook users

While I can attach and send photos, the problem is for the recipient if they are using Outlook. They see the picture and the file name as a JPEG, but they can't save it as a JPEG.
How do you resolve that or can you?

I use Mail to send photos, and the problems are with Microsoft receivers. At work we run Windows XP so I sent some photos to myself a couple of different ways. When I send it, I am attaching JPEG. When it arrives, I see the picture as if it were a text document and the file name is displayed below the picture with a JPEG extension. The problem is saving it - there is no JPEG option. HTML, Text and a few other options.
That just seems odd to me. If I attach an Excel file, I receive an Excel file.

Attaching photo to mail

Is there a way (or there should be a way) to attach a photo to an email when you already have the email opened. I.E. You click on a link on a website that opens an email and you want to add a photo from the iPhone onto it without having to write down the email address, close that mail, go to Photos, click send, etc.

A photo can be selected from the iPhone's camera roll, which can be accessed from the Camera app and includes photos that were captured by the iPhone or that were saved from a recieved email or from a website, or by selecting the Photos app, which provides access to all photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone and photos available in the iPhone's camera roll.

Attach photo in Mail as a file...

Apparently I have to attach the photo, then right click and a pop up option appears and I choose 'Attach as file'... Ummm... any hints? Rain dance as well perhaps?

People get understandably confused about this. The truth is, if you're sending an image within an email, you have no control over how the other person sees it in their email program. (Unless you're sending HTML mail such as a formatted newsletter.)
The option you're talking about - which is actually the "View as Icon" option from your right-click - only changes the way that you see it as you're composing the message. It may be easier to write your message if you're not distracted by a large image in the middle of the typing area.

Attaching pictures to Mail from within iPhoto

For my sister in law I am trying to find out, why she cannot attach photos to mails anymore, i.e. from within iPhoto. In iPhoto, when you select one or more photos, then click on Mail on icon list below the photos, the photos are prepared for attachment. In a pop-up window you can choose from different sizes, for example. When you click on ok, a progress bar appears. Once the process is complete nothing happens, Mail does not open. Also, there is no draft mail created in Mail. What went wrong? How do I fix it? Attaching photos by dragging them on the Mail icon in the dock works fine, though. Thanks a lot in advance.

Given that iPhoto goes through the motions of resizing etc, I would suspect the problem is at the Mail end.
Has she tried repairing permissions with Disk Utility?

Photo attachment size in Mail

Hi
When I attach photos into a mail, they appear as actual size.
I would like all my attachment photos to appear as icons.
I can then change the size of the photos into an icon but have to change each one individually.
Is there a way to do a defult setting so that when I attach photos, they automatically go in as icons?
Cheers
Woodsie

Folks
This is not an issue, it's a feature. By this I mean it's intended behaviour. Apple have not "fixed it" because as far as they are concerned it's not broken. If you would like the behaviour changed then
1. Install Mail-Attachments-Iconizer. I see one poster mentions he had issues with it but I've used for years with none.
2. Always send your messages as Plain text: (Mail -> Preferences -> Composing). This will help with the pic arriving embedded. Though remember, the settings on the recipient's email client is the biggest factor in deciding how the email will display on their machine. Also, remember there's no reason why any other client "should" behave exactly like Eudora.
3. If you want Mail to be changed there is no point in posting here. This is a User to User forum, and Apple do not promise to read it. So, if you want more options, a new default setting or even new preferences: Contact the developers of Mail:
Mail menu -> Provide Mail Feedback
The more folk that do, the better the chance of things being changed.

Attaching photos as icons in mail

Is it possible to set up mail to attach photos and pdf's as icons automatically? It is a real pain to have to convert each one individually.
Martin

Hello Martin.
Not without a 3rd party plugin for Mail.
You do know this has no effect whatsoever on how the attachments appear when the message is opened by the recipient?
When selecting View as Icon for an attachment that appears inline or viewed in place within the body of the message and sending it this way to a Mail.app user, the attachment will appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened by the recipient.
Unless you use HTML with embedded images or objects in the message body, the sender of a message has no control over how attachments appear when the message is opened by the recipient. This is determined by the recipient's email client.

Problems with photos attached to a mail

Normally a photo attached to a mail arrives at the addressee as a separate file which can be detached and stored separately.
Since a couple of days it does not work this way, when I use the Apple mail program to send messages from my iMac (OSX 10.5.3). Now they are embedded into the mail as very large pictures. I think there must be something wrong with the settings of mail.
Does anybody know what I can do in order to get back the "normal" state?

Hallo Björn,
nochmals danke für den Tip. Es hat funktioniert. Aber normal ist das nicht. Ich vermute der Bug ist hineinoperiert worden beim Fixing eines anderen Bugs, auf den ich schon vor über einem halben Jahr in diesem Forum aufmerksam machte: seit 10.5.1 oder 10.5.2 (die kamen ja beide sehr schnell hintereinander) konnte man nicht mehr zeitgesteuert (aus den Systemeinstellungen, Energie sparen) den Ruhezustand der Festplatte anfahren. Ich habe elend lange herumexperimentiert, um herauszufinden, ob der Fehler eventuell bei meinen Macs lag. Die Ratschläge, die ich aus dem Forum bekam, waren allesamt Blödsinn. Und Apple sitzt offenbar auf einem so hohen Ross, dass die es nicht für nötig hielten, auf meinen Hilferuf im Forum zu reagieren. Gelesen hat es wohl doch einer von denen, denn als ich im Zuge dieses Schriftverkehrs aus meinem Unmut heraus eine entsprechende Bemerkung loließ, war da sofort einer, dem der Schuh offenbar passte. Der fühlte sich nämlich befleißigt, mich darüber aufzuklären, dass das Forum der Hilfe von User zu User diene und die Apple-Leute in der Regel die Beiträge nicht lesen würden. Zum Abschluss des Posts (mit 10.5.3 war der Bug nämlich behoben, und in einer Notiz im Kleingedruckten vor dem Herunterladen des updates stand ein Hinweis, dass ein Fehler im Mailprogramm daran schuld war) habe ich dann nochmal einen Hieb auf Apple ausgeteilt, und gleich war der selbe zur Stelle, um sein Statement (s. oben) zu wiederholen.
Es wäre doch schön, wenn die mal zugeben könnten, dass hier ein Fehler von Apple vorlag, bevor man wie doof im eigenen Kram nach möglichen Fehlern sucht.
Eine Hotline zur Meldung von Bugs habe ich bei Apple bisher vergeblich gesucht.
Sogar Microsoft hat so was...
(Hoffentlich hat das jetzt auch einer von denen gelesen - und verstanden!)

Mac and photo E-mail attachment

When I try to send a photo as an E-mail attachment using PSE 11 on my Mac it shows up in the recipients mail as an embedded photo rather then an attachment. Anybody else have this problem or a solution. Thanks

You are very smart Barbara. If I use PSE11 and share a photo as an attachment with an AOL recipient and a Yahoo recipient the AOL recipient gets only and embedded picure in the E-mail whereas the Yahoo recipient gets an embedded image and the attachment. If I don't use PSE and go direct to my mail server and attach the photo and send to the aol person it works fine and they get it as a attachment. So it seems to me that PSE is not zipping and my mail server is and AOL accepts only zipped. I am assuming zipped and compressed mean the same thing. Is my interpretation of what is happening correct? Thanks much.

How do i resize photo attachment in icloud mail

How do I resize photo attachment in icloud mail. The resize button does not appear as it did before.

Using iCloud mail online via a browser does not offer the option to resize the photo. It's only available when emailing from iPhoto so iPhoto can do the resizing as it adds the image to the email. Safari or whatever browser you're using doesn't have that capability.
