Attachments are still loading error message MacOS Ventura 13.1

I am getting this message anytime I try and respond to an email on my new MacBookAir. "This message contains attachments that are still being loaded. Please wait for the attachments to complete and then try again." It does not give me this error when I reply on my phone, strictly on my laptop.


For the life of me I can't figure this out...anyone know of a solution to this and why this is happening? Thanks!

I have the same issue, only one thing works for me so far.


Each email message, from me or some others have image in the signature, when I hit reply, the image is replace by the file name, for example: image000456.jpg


If I deleted this "image000456.jpg" then I can send the email, else, I will keep getting the warning and sometimes I get freeze or restart of mail.

It's simple:


Apple now monitors everything you do and has coded everything to basically try to stop you doing things Apple doesn't want you to do. For some reason they don't want you to send that particular mail. It won't do this on any other mail, just the one you're trying to send. Is it political?


Same thing with junk mail: they don't want you to be able to identify junk mail. They lose money if you're not bombarded with the mail and they can't prove they've delivered it to you.
