I am using macOS Big Sur (although it is not specific to this version). I am taking a photography workshop. When I turn my assignments in to my instructor, I am attaching the .jpg files to my email. The instructor is using Outlook. He says that he is getting them EMBEDDED in my email and not as attachments. I have run into this problem before. Is there a way to send these photos ensuring that he gets them as attachments?


I know that he is using a Windows product, but I have run into this issue before and need to know if there is a work around. If I go to a windows forum, they will tell me it is an Apple problem.

Actually, I just googled it and found this answer in Apple Support:


"Send attachments to Windows users in Mail on Mac

Try these suggestions for sending email attachments to Windows users.

  • To send Windows-friendly attachments for all messages, choose Edit > Attachments, then select Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments. 
  • To send Windows-friendly attachments for a single message, click the Attachment button  in the toolbar of the new message window, then select Send Windows-Friendly Attachments (if the checkbox isn’t shown, click Options).
  • Send documents as PDFs instead of in their original format.
  • Use filename extensions (such as .docx for a Microsoft Word document)."
