Misbehaving Attachments in Mail
When I attach a document in Mail (usually a PDF) it sometimes shows up as a icon with a PDF symbol and other times it actually opens up the document in the mail message (this also happens with JPEGs).
This drives me crazy because I apparently have no control as to how it is going to act. Sometimes when I am attaching several documents some will show as Icons and others will open themselves in the message with no rhyme or reason. I have tried several methods of attaching; drag and drop, via the attachment option at the top of the message, dragging and dropping several at once (some open up and some do not).
In the end I do not want ANYTHING I attach to show up as anything but an Icon, no open pictures, no open documents.This is not a new problem it has been happening over all editions of OSX, Panther, Tiger, Leopard.
What am I doing wrong, or must I abandon Mail and get something like Eudora?
