Mail photo attachments embedded vs files

How can I attach photos to email so that they show up as a file rather than embedded?

Use Attachment Tamer. Lovely plug in.  Suffered the same fayre. Tried using the various lines of code suggested in the forum none worked.

  • I have always been able to open e-mail photo attachments even after trnsferring them to the desktop or a thumbdrive, but after moving the last two

    I have always been able to open e-mail photo attachments even after transferring them to the desktop or a thumbdrive, but after moving the last two to the desktop and trying to open them I get the message that ColorSync is unable to open files of this type. I believe they are jpegs.

    When I attach a PDF to Apple Mail on Mountain Lion, it is an icon. When I send it to an iCloud mail destination, the attachment arrives and is presented as an icon, whether on OS X, or in IOS 6.
    I suspect that the recipient's mail user agent is responsible for the full image .vs. icon behavior, and there is nothing you can do to prevent it.

  • Mail photo attachments

    I am trying to send photos to family so that they can keep the jpg file. They are using PC's and not Macs, but they photo is embedded in the email. They can't save the photo itself as the only option available is as a .Bitmap file, not a JPG. Any advice on how to send a photo as a true attachment and not embedded in the email?

    The problem lies in the way their mail program is behaving; but if you zip the photos first then they should be able to saved them and unzip them.

  • Apple Mail Photo Attachments

    I sent email to two Widows users and one Mac user that contained photos. Neither of the Windows users could see the photos but the Mac user did. I sent the photos 2 ways, the first by pasting into the main body of the message and the second as an attachment. Neither method worked for the Windows users. The photos were jpg and the names contained the jpg extension. (Actually, the first time, the pasted graphics were converted to tiff). Under Edit > Attachments, "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" is checked.
    I never had this problem with Entourage. Any suggestions?

    Thanks, I'll give that a try. But, in the meantime, what is the explanation? The Mac recipient had no problem, only the Windows users.
    Using Entourage, I would have to format the message as html in order to send pasted photos, but I never had a problem like this. Even the attachments did not work with Apple Mail.

  • Mac Mail and Photo attachments

    I recently changed my business E-mail client to Mac Mail 3.8 from Eudora. I was very surprised that Mac Mail could not attach a graphic file to an E-mail without actually embedding the file into the E-mail. Mac to Mac my clients could access the file as an attachment, but Mac to PC they could not. I was very surprised to find that the only solution Apple support showed was to compress the graphic file as a zip archive file. This solution is unacceptable as Google Mail disallowed zip files as attachments, and more than a handful of my clients use G-Mail. I found a third party plug-in solution offered by Loki software called Mail Attachments Iconizer http://lokiware.info/Mail-Attachments-Iconizer which actually works to change the way Mac Mail handles graphic file attachments, so that PC users can access the attached file. I was amazed that there was no mention of this solution on the apple support thread... Now there is!

    Welcome to Apple Community forums.
    Have you tried using "Send Windows friendly attachments" at the bottom of the attach dialog?

  • Email attachments embedded with mail 6.6 instead of separate file attachments?? How do you fix?

    Using Mail 6.6 - all of a sudden my attachments are embedded in the message, what do I change to have them as separate attachments?

    Try this Applications/Utilities/Terminal command -Mail - show attachments as icons. I suggest copy and paste.
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool YES

  • Sending photo attachments from Mail to Gmail

    I've been sending photo attachments via Mail for years and haven't had trouble until recently. Now I'm getting complaints from Gmail users that the attachments come through as embedded files. I guess on the Gmail end, they don't see it listed out as an attachment, but as part of the mail body. What's going on here?
    I attach files same as I always have - by clicking on "attach", then selecting the file(s) I want to attach. I always leave "send windows friendly attachments" selected (although in an experiment, I tried sending it without clicking that, and the images came over all stretched out and shrunken in a very strange way).
    I can't think of what would be happening, but I'm assuming it's something in either the way Mail or Gmail is treating the photos - and I'd like to have them come through as attachments, rather than embed files (I'm a photographer and have heard from some of my clients that the embed is a pain - they have to "save as" right click on each image rather than just select "save attachments" or something).
    Any ideas??

    Send to these recipients using only Plain Text, and all should be well. To test choose a message you previously sent from the Sent mailbox, open, click on Message in the menubar, choose Send Again, then click on Format and choose Make Plain Text.
    Rich Text as received by those using Outlook or Outlook Express, as two examples, will see the RTF as HTML, and the attachments will appear embedded -- although they are not.

  • Why are my mail attachments embedding in the mail doc. rather than showing up as an attachment

    after upgrading to Lion 10.7.2. It seems my mail document attachments are embedding in the email, rather than showing up as an attachment. How do I resolve this?

    There's been a lot of discussion on this.  Some indicate that setting your email format to plain text will result in the photos being just attachments.  When I've tested it by sending to myself that's not been the case. 
    There's a 3rd party plugin for Mail that is supposed to do what you want.  I've not tested it so can't comment one way or another:
    One way to assure the image files travel as attachments is to put them in a folder first and add the folder to the email body. That zips/compresses the folder and sends it that way.

  • Saving photo attachments in mail.app

    Can anyone please tell me if there is a simple way to save multiple photo attachments from several emails to one folder in one go?
    I am hoping that I don't have to go to each individual email & save

    Not wanting to start another topic, is anyone else having issues with the new Lion Mail?
    First: is there any way to turn off the jps in the image and just send them as a file? I hate remembering to make sure the cursor is set to the best location for the inserted images
    The problem I see is sending more than one file. Im not so sure the second plus file is attached.
    I know for sure the image of the scond file is normally half gone.
    Thanks for any insight and help.

  • Fun? with Photo Attachments in Mail

    Hello. I have always wondered just how photo attachments arrived at a Windows user computer.
    After reading an article in the April 2009 Macworld (Mac911), I decided to try a few tests as follows:
    (I would really appreciate any comments for other suggestions--I imagine a lot of Mac users are are also concerned about it).
    1--I first tried the one recommended in the article by making a Zip file as follows:
    I dragged a picture from iPhoto to my Desktop. I then went into FILE in the Finder and clicked on COMPRESS.
    I then composed a message in Mail and using the attach feature at the top of the message, attached the photo to the message and sent it to the Windows user.
    He indicated it did not work that well, too much 'fiddling' to get it useable.
    2--I then went into iPhoto, highlighted a photo, clicked on the email function in iPhoto and sent it off.
    Windows guy says still not that good.
    3--I then tried simply dragging a photo first from iPhoto to the desktop, then dragged it into a message I had composed on Mail and sent it. That way didnt seem good for him either.
    4--**This is the one that he seemed happy with:
    I dragged the photo from iPhoto on to my desktop. I then composed an email message in Mail and using the 'attach' feature in Mail, attached the photo from the desktop into my Mail message.
    He indicated that was the one he preferred by a long shot.
    However, it is a bit of a complicated procedure on my end---any suggestions to make this easier?

    From iPhoto, click to send as before. But prior to sending, click on Format in the menubar of Mail, and select Make Plain Text. In addition, it would be best to set iPhoto NOT to add the Titles or Descriptions beneath the photo. Have the photo or photos be the last thing in the message -- enter no text following any photo.
    Test this with you friend. Not all those things will be necessary all the time, but safest anyway. If the recipient were, for example, using Thunderbird you probably wouldn't have to do any of them, but for those using Outlook or Outlook Express all of those steps would be best.

  • I can't attach files to my e-mails instead of embedding them in the body of the e-mail. Any ideas?

    I can't attach files to my e-mails instead of embedding them in the body of the e-mail. Any ideas?

    Mail sends certain kinds of graphical attachments as inline content. The decision to do that was made for you by Apple. There's no built-in way to override it, as far as I know.
    The recipient's mail client may or may not take Mail's suggestion to display the content inline.
    You have these options:
    Zip the files before attaching them to the message.
    Use something like Attachment Tamer. (That's not an endorsement — it may cause problems.)
    Use another mail client that allows for more control over the format of outgoing messages.

  • How to stop mail app from embedding photos

    How do I get the Mail App from embedding my photo attachments. I'm using Yahoo that was just migrated from a PC through Migration assistant

    Thanks Linc, it took me a bit to figure out that within this link was a way to close the message viewer, which I've done for now.
    I would still be interested to know if there is a way for the message viewer panel to be open and have mail NOT open the next message automatically.  I do like to have the message panal open.  But I am not sure why the default is to jump to the next message, or why we cannot have it sit at the last messge and allow us to choose when we are ready to read the next message. 
    For now, the link you sent does give me an option.
    Thank you!

    Yep! And if you absolutely need (or think you need) that functionality, it is worth every penny.
    As Don already pointed out, exactly what the recipient sees will depend on how they've set up their machine and what unnecessary 3rd party apps they might've installed to display attachments the way they want.
    In theory, that is true. In practice, Attachment Tamer will cause more of your messages to show up as plain-jane icons on the other end. The problem is, after all, people running Outlook 2003 and 2007. These people likely aren't doing many system modifications.
    If I were you, I'd use the free solutions provided above, save my money and let my recipients decide how they will handle their mail.
    I completely agree.

    - Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.

    Hi ,
    There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
    However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
    I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
    Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .
