Mail attachments (pics) too small?

Hi guys / gals.
I've noticed something very strange and annoying about the mail.app -
When I attach an image and email it to somebody, they get a downsized / smaller file and NOT the original!! I've looked under "preferences" and can't find anything relating to this - I've also tried searching on here + googling - perhaps
I'm either 1) searching for the wrong terms 2) attaching images using a bad method? 3) both!
My method is to drag and drop an image into an open (new) message.... I'm pretty sure that using the attachments dialogue has exactly the same effect though....

When you drag and drop an image into Mail, a drop down menu will appear in the lower right of the composed message window. If you want to attach the image in its original size and resolution, choose "Actual Size."
It seems like this selection is saved, and all future drag-n-drops of image will use this new size setting.

"Large" Mail Attachments are Too Small in Yosemite

Since using Yosemite (10.10.1), when I attach a photo to a Mail (8.1) message, and then choose one of the options to change the Image Size from Actual Size to Large, the photo shrinks way too much. For example, an 8.4 MB .jpg file shrank to 285 KB when selecting the Large option. Before Yosemite, the reduction was not as much, and the resulting image was far more useful to the recipient. These are practically thumbnails. How can I adjust the size of "Large" Image Sizes to make them bigger?
I have not found any other reports of this problem. I recall once learning how to change the size of the Quartz filters used to reduce Preview images, and I image something similar is going on.

This isn't an issue with Mail, it's those people who are using a PeeCee and Outlook, which is set to render all email as HTML, even if it isn't. Apart from having your recipients set Outlook to treat everything as Plain Text, you should create .zip archives of the files you're sending and send those instead.

The font size on my e-mail app is too small. Zooming in results in scrolling for miles

The font size on my e-mail app is too small. I have already tried adjusting my font size preferences in the settings. It has no effect. The text seems zoomed out. When I zoom in manually, the text extends for miles to the right beyond the window size and I have to keep scrolling over to read. This is very annoying. It used to resize and readjust the text to fit within the screen. Is there a glitch in the app itself or have I somehow reset something which is causing this to happen? Is anyone else having this problem?

Could you have the Zoom feature turned on? Go to Settings>General>Accessibility and check/correct.

Copy in mail file is too small to read easily. Cannot find solution.

In fact all copy on the monitor is too small...seemingly by default. Cannot find solution.

Do I have to go through this time consuming process whenever I have a simple question? And what about getting an answer?

.au audio files in e-mail attachments play too fast

How can I get .au audio file attachments in e-mails to play at normal speed? For some reason they play so fast that I can't understand what the person speaking is saying. It's very frustrating.

The mail app will only recognize what it is programmed to recognize. There are many files that work on desktop computers that don't play on the iPhone. Some of apples own office docs will not open on the iPhone while MS office docs will.
Apple does not list all files the iPhone does support, but the audio support does not include GSM. If the phone doesn't know how to decode it, the Mail app can't play it either.
From Apple iPhone tech specs:
Audio formats supported: AAC, Protected AAC, MP3, MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV

On firefox, netzero mail page font too small, aol ok. How do I change font to bigger so I can read mail?

A couple of days ago, I was using Firefox and reading my email on Netzero.com when the letters suddenly went to very very small and I have trouble reading my email. I switched to the email on AOL.com and the letters were of normal size as usual. Netzero says I should open Mozilla Firefox to click "tools", "options", "content", to fix the font size. But when I click the brown "Firefox" window, I do not see any of the items Netzero says to click. Do you have any suggestions as to what Netzero is talking about or how I can increase the size of the print so I can read my email on Netzero while I am using Firefox?

Not an ideal solution, but some users change the setting in: System Preferences>Displays, select the Scaled button and choose another resolution.
If you are within 14 days of purchased you can return the computer for a refund if you dislike it that much as Apple do have a good returns policy (so long as you purchased from Apple and not a reseller).

Apple Mail font size too small for father

My father just purchased a iMac with Mountain Lion OS and a 27 inch screen.
My father needs to be able to read the text of the AppleMail window.
We have increased the size of the fonts to 18 to make it easy for him to see what he is typing in the email editing window, however, none of the other display fonts in AppleMail increase.
The increase in font size is intended by Apple to provide an Accomodation to provide Equal Access for those with Sight Disabilities to the Essential Functions of use, however, this intent appears to have failed within AppleMail.
Would a different mail reader (gmail, etc) provide this font sizing ability?
Requested Remedy:
Provide the ability to increase font size for all of the AppleMail display.

'Preferences' doesn't solve the problem, since it only alters the font size of text for a single message, and doesn't alter the Mailbox Pane or Message Panes.
The Mailbox Pane is enlarged outside Mail, using the System Preference's 'General' setting for Sidebar Icon size - this also alters sidebar text size.
And the Message List is enlarged most easily by a Terminal command
- it's only a single line, cut'n'paste:
defaults write com.apple.mail RichMessageList -bool FALSE
Then restart Mail and adjust its column sizes for the newly enlarged fonts.

My e-mail font is too small to read. how do I get it back to legible size? All other screens are ok.

I must have accidentally clicked the mouse somewhere on the toolbar. All of a sudden , the whole page was in minute print.

Reset the zoom for that page.

Apple Mail Too Small to Read

I read all my mail through the preview window and each message has a different font size, most too small for me to read. The preference font size doesn't seem to work (Isn't that only for outgoing mail anyway?)
Is there anyway to make all the fonts i read the same size without enlarging the text on each message?

Try this from the very helpful Left Lane blog - it worked for me! http://www.leftlanedesigns.com/blog/fonts-too-small-in-apple-mail/

No cursor on any website, and boxes are too small to type username and password. Example I can't type username and password for yahoo e-mail

Example of no cursor. Any website, such as youtube, there is no cursor in the box, and there are no letters when I type, but the system recognizes what I type. As for e-mail, hotmail works o.k., but with yahoo the boxes for username and password are too small, there is no cursor and I can't type anything. With gmail, there is no cursor, but I can type my username and password.
