How do you send a picture as an attachment rather that a picture in mail. Tried all sorts and it will only send as a picture and my wife who has the dreaded Microsoft laptop cannot save it in her photo file if its a picture.
Many Thanks for any replies
iMac 27″, 10.15

When you drag an image to your e-mail message, or click the paper-clip icon and attach an image, the effect is the same.
You have no control over how that is treated on the receiving end.
I don't think that your wife's laptop really can't save the picture, but is a surefire way to make sure that the picture is not embedded in the message, and is really an attachment: send your message as plain text rather than rich text. Plain text is just that, plain text. It cannot incorporate images, by definition.
She should be able to right-click on it and choose "Save as picture" or something like that.
I think older versions of Outlook did not have that option, though.
But, as Luis noted, it is better to send things in plain text. That is how internet email is designed. Rich text, html, and any other styling (including attachments) are bolted onto the protocol and requires the recipient's email client to render it how you think it should look which doesn't actually happen in real life.
