Mail embeds my images

I have posted about this before, but thought i try again now that im on leopard and im STILL having this truly annoying problem.
I am sending an email. I attach an image (jpg), make sure to click the windows friendly button since that is who i am sending to. I view as icon cause...i usually can't stand seeing them previewed inline. Its an attachment. all is right.
I hit send. It is received and the image is no longer an attachment, rather it is embedded and can't be extracted.
The only way to remedy it is to zip it and send that instead.
WHY???? This only happens with jpegs but not all the time. maybe 50/50.
It happens ALL the time when the image has been optimized for web, its like mail knows its been compressed for screen viewing.
In my last post (see tiger mail forum) some replied make sure it is plain text, it is. Others said make sure the windows friendly is clicked, it is. Others said convert them to something else...other than zipping them this is NOT an option. They are jpgs for a reason and must stay jpgs. AND it feels ridiculous to zip a single file, or 3 files that add up to less than 25k...
Sorry for any perceived snarkiness, I am just having a really busy day and now have to go back and resend the blasted thing...grrrrrrrrrrrrr
thoughts??

Not so much as an answer, rather supporting your issue. Happens to me too, really annoying. Someone must know how to resolve this?
Are we the only people with this problem?
How about this - it happened to me today with a CS2 PSD! Bizarre.

  • Embedding an Image as a template in mail - is it possible?

    Hi,
    I know that if I am sending an attachment to another mac person who uses mail, that the image will appear "inline" (in the main body of the text). What I want to know is whether it is possible to embed an image as a template or background in mail so that if I send it to a PC user they will recieve like I would on a mac, not just as a jpeg attachment in the bottom corner of the email.
    The reason I ask is that as an artist I send out emails to a mailing list of friends and clients of upcoming shows and events. I want to make sure everyone will get the same visual message without having to open an attachment (or get a blank email with said attachment at the bottom)
    Is there a program that does this or can I do it in Mail??
    I am sure I am being totally stupid but I would appreciate some help..
    thanks again in advance

  • How do I stop lion mail embedding image attachments

    I have tried everything I know to get around this but I can't seem to just send images as attachments.
    My clients are now getting really fed up with it and it is probably loosing me business.
    I write an email I click the attach Icon - it embeds the image in the email.
    EVERY client is complaining they can't get the picture out the email and that's everyone from Blackberry users to Outlook users.
    NEVER had the problem before switching to LION now I can't stop it.
    Tried converting to plain text.
    Tried windows friendly.
    Tried add to end of message.
    Tried showing attachment as icon instead.
    Only thing that works is Zipping it up - but some 'secretaries' dont know what to do with that, and they can't install additional software on the works computer...blah, blah.... just more hassle.
    This is ridiculas! is there a solution before I go out an by a PC to send emails!
    Thanks.

    Try the Terminal command on this blog....

  • E-mail looses all images if mail server doesn't accept outgoing email...

    I open some web page in Safari, press Command+i, new email message is created and all web page content is inserted in the email message, including all images. Nice! I enter email address and send email.
    If for some reason outgling mailserver doesn't accept my outgoing email, the same email is shown again to let me choose another outgoing mail server.
    BUT - at this time all images in the email body are gone! Instead of the images I see blue rectangles with the white question marks on them. And if I proceed and send such email via another email server, recipients get email from me without pictures embedded in the email.
    Can Apple fix this bug? It's really annoying, because quite often outgoing mail server of my ISP is not accepting my outgoing emails and I cannot resend email through another mail server, because images are already lost - I have to delete email, switch back to Safari, again Command+i, again enter email address and then change email account and then try to send again...

    Posting this here is a good idea if you’re looking for possible solutions/workarounds, but if all you want is to let Apple know so that it’s fixed, you’d better do it in one of the following places:

  • Display problems in Mail messages with image attachment

    Issue: Seeing intermittent display problems in Mail messages with image attachments
    Annoyance level: minor, but Apple techs need to pass it along
    Details: Regardless of mail client sending to iPhone (Outlook, OWA, Yahoo, Gmail) there are intermittent and what appear to be random occurrances of the pic being half rendered and/or the pic never loading (followed by message saying it can't be retrieved from server). In some instances the picture then appears fully rendered without a problem. Note: Image sizes varied from 14KB to 450KB

    Hi,
    I'm not familiar with C#, but if possible try the following:
    1. Removing all thead and tbody tags from the body of the message.
    2. Changing all inline CSS to embedded CSS.
    I've seen a user said the message stopped showing up after making the changes.
    If the issue persists, please note, since Outlook 2007, Outlook opens the HTML Email and converts it to Microsoft Word format before displaying it to the user. What happens during this process is that many CSS attributes and HTML support is completely removed.
    Some of the most notable absences are background-image, and padding and margin support. Hardly can we do much about this, so the message "If there are problems with how this email is displayed, click here to view it in a web browser" is actually
    a good workaround when we face this problem.

  • Hello apple guys, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

    hello apple guys, after installing OS X Mavericks, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

    So is this the way Apple works now? Not solving customers problems? I'm sure so many users have had this problem. I've had, and I reinstalled Mavericks 3 times. Works fine for some days and then several Apple Apps stop working. Is that a way to force us ti update to Yosemite? (I don't want to) and then pay to update some third party programs (i.e. Pro Tools). Also, there are so many 15" MacBooks Pro with graphic problems and of course the guys at the Apple Service Centers always say: "It's the logic board, you can have it replaced, but it's so expensive I would recommend a new Mac".  I really, really miss Steve Jobs!

  • Mail for exchange image retrieving

    Hallo ,
    Can somebody help me with exchange sync. The problem is that i recieve many times forworded mails. They have many signatures from anyone who has written there. So when i open a mail it continues telling me 'retrieving .png 'for example , and refresh the mail form the begining. If i read it , it turnd me back form the begining. so first 15 sec i cannot read the mail when open it because it dont stop to refresh itself for every image. In fact i stop the option for recieving image in the mail. from sett/phone / mail/message display/ image download - it is off. I think this is useful only for .jpg. So is there an option to make mail application not to refresh the mail for every singular part of one mail. Or is there a different sollution.  Devide is n8

  • Embedding GIF image

    Hello!
    Is there any convenient way to embed GIF image into flash
    file? Embedding JPG image was easy using HTML <img> tag, but
    that does not seem to work with GIF.
    The reason I need this, so the argument ?image could be
    passed to flash file and the image inside flash would switch
    according to the passed argument (without editing .FLA file
    itself).
    Thank you in advance!

    ok - the real problem here is that you are using the 'actual'
    file as it loads to act as the preloader - in this case the
    majority of the file will load previous to the preloader initiating
    anything because it will not function until the file is
    instantiated. a much better way of handling this is to use the
    MovieClipLoader class and create a 'loading' swf file that IS the
    preloader, which in turn 'loads' the actual swf. you then use the
    onLoadProgress handler of the MCL class to control the events of
    the load and then you can initiate the opening methods in the load
    file using the onLoadInit handler.
    so you would make a file that is the same size as the main
    file, then place your preloader assets and code constructs for the
    options you're using within that file - call mcl.loadClip() and
    load the 'main' swf in that way. the preloader should then only be
    a few k at the most and load almost instantly, and show the
    progress properly. this is the best way to go when dealing with
    large files.

  • Save as SVG degrading the embedded raster images

    I would like to know if the following issue is a bug:
    I have a file that contains a background raster image (embedded JPEG) and few vector graphics objects drawn on top of it.
    After I save this file as pure SVG (no AI information, so I don't check the Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities check box ), I notice a slight degradation of the raster image (for instance, the image border pixels look like being interpolated with the white background). If I save this SVG as an AI file (and no compression), and repeat the Save as SVG, the image degrades even more. So, with each iteration AI -> pure SVG -> AI, the background embedded raster image (JPEG) looks worse and worse.
    I use AI CS3 13.0.2.
    Thanks,
    Matei

    Matei, temp,
    There is a wellknown issue of degrading JPEGs every time they are reinterpreted.
    Therefore, JPEGs should always be kept and used unaltered, if possible.
    And then there is the alignment issue:
    >(for instance, the image border pixels look like being interpolated with the white background).
    Have you made sure that the JPEGs are aligned with the pixels of the Artboard before saving?

  • Forwarded mail has no images

    I have a new .mac account, so I am forwarding my old address email to my .mac email using rules in the OSX mail program. I have it set up to forward the mail to my new address and then delete it from the old address. This works great except my forwarded mail has no images (just text and space for images)(just blank spaces, no symbols). Also, most of the links do not work. Anyone have any solutions?
    Thanks

    Jason,
    Forwarding should normally include attachments, images and links. However, forwarding of messages with RTF or HTML will often trigger a spam filter somewhere in the path which could then alter the message. You need to be sure that is not happening. To check this send, or have someone send, a simple Plain Text message with attached JPEG to your old account, and see if this forwards correctly.
    What SMTP is being used by the old account, and who provides it?
    Keep in mind that if you receive messages in your old account, then you can Move them to the .Mac account Inbox with a simple Move To command in the Rule rather than a Forward, and then they would be in the .Mac Inbox with the original headers instead of those headers that result from a Forward.
    More info, please.

  • When I email photos from my iphone, firefox will not let me open them in yahoo.mail as jpeg images, only firefox documents

    when I email photos from my iphone, firefox will not let me open them in yahoo.mail as jpeg images, only firefox documents

    Two weeks ago I posted this, but no one replied telling me how to correct the problem.
    I think Firefox engineers need to improve Firefox between now and the next up-date to make it adequate to handle all major websites. There aren't many websites used by as many people as yahoo. So why have Firefox engineers ignored this deficiency in Firefox?
