How can I email JPEGs to Outlook users so they're not embedded?

How can I email JPEGs or PNGs from Mac Mail so that outlook users get attachments and not embedded images?


This has been a problem for years! I'm constantly being asked by Outlook users to send attachments and not embedded images (attachments can be downloaded quickly and easily, embedded images are a pain). The only work-around is to Zip the images first and then email them.


Plain or Rich Text does not make any difference and I've tried everything possible in preferences. I have scoured the internet on many occasions over the years for a fix but, no one seems to have a solution.


This is a lot more important than you might realize - please develop a fix.

Control click your image to send> Compress


attach the .zip file

Not sure you understand? As I stated, to get around the problem I have to compress (AKA .zip / right-click>compress) the JPEGs. This is not an efficient way to email attachments - for me or the recipient.


zip has been around a long time, I never found it to be an issue, they open locally


no need to download...that seems more inefficient to me(?)
