Q: Messages not displaying images

When chatting with people over ichat or bonjour, images don't display. They do display if sent from a phone, just not desktop to desktop.

iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

    Hi,

     

    Are you receiving them and  able to open them in Preview ?

     

    It seems that possibly this started with AIM (They have been subject to IMs with Malicious code in .jpegs before) and it seems they are no allowing pic in line to be sent.

    I seems that for Messages on the mac this has been changed for all Services the app can join.

    I don't receive them, either.

    Hi,

     

    In that case ask the send er to either zip them (compress)  before sending or send them in a folder which the app will zip anyway.
