Attachments Instead of Embedded Pictures using IOS 14 Mail

Do whatever you wish, cubsfanbudman. It”s no “skin” off my “nose”, or the “nose” of anyone else, here.

However, it may be to your benefit to see my comment to Shaon94, at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251811052?answerId=254383008022#254383008022 .

Have you noticed how nobody else agrees with you that Apple making a change that screws up the way messages are sent and received is Microsoft's fault?

We must all be pretty stupid not to recognize that all problems with Apple's fourth-rate email client are Microsoft's fault.

Share more of your wisdom, please.

Actually, DCP1234, all people that have actually studied this issue agree with me, since I agree with all of them.

Unfortunately, they have all become sick-n-tired of the perpetual complaining and misdirection of blame due to so much misunderstanding.

I remain as the sole stalwart trying to “fight the tide of ignorance”.

(Have you not noticed that I’m the only one here with a level past 2? Actually past 1, with the exception of léonie, who is at level 10, but didn’t even address the actual issue, this time. On another version of this Discussion, one of the others that helped us all see the root cause, actually recommended that I give up on y’all.)

Let’s not over complicate simple things.

Apple made billions of dollars last year and the year before and the year before that... If that’s the case I don’t know why haven’t developed their own app to invests in their own company so customers get a better product.

Apple has developed many of their own Apps. So, I don’t know what that is about.

Additionally, Apple is their own company, and they are dedicated to helping «customers get a better product.» So, again, I don’t know what that is about, either.

Since Apple doesn’t own any of that tiny subset of email clients that prevent their users from performing bulk attachment operations (such as bulk-saves), there is simply nothing Apple can do about that tiny subset of email clients with this failing.

Apple’s not going to prevent users from using such poor software, if the users want to.

On the other hand, the users of such poor software can make a difference by insisting that such software be corrected, by its manufacturer. (Hint: that’s not Apple.)

See, for example, the post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251839875?answerId=253924826022#253924826022, and the Discussion that user linked to. (Within the Discussion that user linked to, you’ll be able to find the post of the user that recommended I give up on y’all.)

I’m far from being alone in my assessment of the actual situation, DCP1234.

Yeah. I could list dozens of glaring flaws in Apple's "Mail" email client and I could also read your links, but I have more interesting thinks to do than debate whether it's a good thing for my iPhone to prevent me from replying to a message without altering it's formatting in a way that's a pain in the as for the people I'm corresponding with. I'm sure you can explain to me why Apple's crap don't stink and all frustrations of working with its email client are someone else's fault, but I don't need to. It's client is unpleasant to work with. Therefore it is bad software.

And I hadn't even mentioned working with people who let their iPhones alter PDF attachments so they can't be opened when forwarding (yes those people have a setting they should correct, but again Apple's email client is obstructing effective communication. No bueno.

It's remarkable that you know I'm wrong about the defects I'm talking about without me even telling you what they are. It's almost like you know that any criticism of any Apple product or service is wrong without even needing to know what the criticism is.

You must be extremely clever.

Not at all, DCP1234.

It’s simply that this Discussion is about a particular issue—as all Discussions within this community should be—and not about any listing of other potential «defects».

If you wish help on working around other «defects», you should ask the community about specific «defects».

If there are no solutions or workarounds for such «defects», you should provide Apple with the appropriate Feedback, through their provided Feedback mechanisms.

You can do that, regardless!

It is inappropriate to “hijack” someone else’s Discussion for off-topic «defects».

Same issue here. Wastes a lot of time. Apple is for children and those that want a thousand emojis. The best thing to do is vote with your feet. Android is so much better for working adults. I will never buy another Apple product.

Looking for the same answer ASAP, so annoying

Onmy phone or outlook itself? I turned the signature off from my phone still happened. I just dont get how it worked fine before ios14.

I need to send photos as an attachment for work but with IOS 14 it is not working. Is there a fix for this and if so how do I get my pictures to send as an attachment

and if you don't want to download outlook app after you've been using native mail app for 10 years, then what?

I cannot believe there is no fix for this. So frustrating.
