Pictures automatically attach to e-mail?

Please help! I took my husband's i-phone and found a raunchy picture of him attached to an e-mail to a woman in his sent e-mail file (a Yahoo account). When I approached him about this (I think that he is cheating on me) he admitted that he took the picture but says that he never sent it to anyone. He claims that he went to the Genius Bar at the local Apple store and they told him that it is an i-phone glitch: that photos sometimes automatically attach themselves to an e-mail address and appear in the sent folder, even though no e-mail was ever sent. Has anyone ever heard of this happening? The future of my marriage depends on this answer!

This isn't the answer you want to hear, but there is no known glitch where an iPhone attaches a photo to an e-mail and places it in the sent box. I verified this with a Genius at Steve's pet-store in Palo Alto. So either your husband is the only person to encounter this "glitch" or he's straight-up lying to you. My money's on the latter.

The glitch claimed is too far-fetched. Opening the e-mail app on its own. Plucking an e-mail address at random. Attaching a pic. Sending it, but only to the inbox. And let's not overlook that the "iPhone" sent a sexual picture to another woman. Too coincidental. Any one of the four might pass, but when combined together, it's too far-fetched.

I know. I'm guessing the previous posters who claim it can happen are going to try to use the same excuse when they get caught cheating.

I feel bad for Susan, but I am morbidly curious of what the picture looks like and the end results of her findings. I must not be the only one who is wondering about that.

Add that picture to the late night phone calls and some other miscellaneous texts and e-mails that I found ... and this is not the first woman ... and let's just say that my atty is working on the divorce complaint.
Nonetheless, I wanted to remain open to the possibility that it was all some big mistake (I think that he is the big mistake) and thank everyone who provided input on this discussion.
