Icons instead of images in imessage
When I send photos sometimes the recipient gets a jpeg icon and has to click on this to see the image. Other times the image appears in the message. Any idea what may be causing this?

Attachment Vs. Add-In:
If it appears in the message, then it is part of the message itself (an add-in). If you are required click something, then it is an attachment. So, add it as an attachment, if you want this to not show up as part of the message. Or add to the message itself, by adding it (i.e. drag-and-drop), so that it shows up.
Contact eMail Provider:
If you are uncertain on all of this, then contact your eMail provider, and see what they have to say on this, when using their site or app, instead of the Mail app.
Thanks for your response but I’m talking about this in iMessage (not email).
