What is the rationale for forcing the embedded format on all users?

It's still an attachment. Unless the recipient mail client supports the embedded option, they will just show up as regular attachments.

It's the new standard user interface guideline. To make adding photos and 1 page PDFs to emails friendlier they are shown as embedded on Apple's default Mail apps.

It really does not affect the way the email is sent or how it seen by the recipient.

All pictures are sent as attachments, that is how email works. Various email clients may allow a place in the email message to view the picture, but it is an attachment.

That isn’t accurate. The photos show up in outlook in the body of the email, not as an attachment (which is what I need). You can receive photos in that format from other mailing software like outlook or gmail. The problem is with IOS, starting with version 14. Before that, photos did get sent as attachments, and not imbedded images.

Thank you for responding but I don’t think you understand the question sir. Please see my response to Philip. I need the photos to be sent as attachments you can drag off the email on outlook, not imbedded in the body of the email.
