Embedded not Attachments - infuriating!
Has anyone worked out why sometime when you attach a jpeg it will be received by the client at an embedded image (which cannot be right-clicked and saved as jpg) and sometimes at a traditional attachment... It really is infuriating for both the sender and the receiver.
I am clicking the 'attach' icon and not dragging
I have 'send Windows friendly attachments' box checked in the dialogue window.
The most annoying thing it this didn't used to happen. I'd never had this experience in Tiger or Leopard (I think). Am not sure about Snow Leopard. It's definitely happening in Lion. Most people are running PC's with Microsoft Outlook. That's a fact of life. This is a major problem for us using our Mac to do business.
I've only ever solved this via a very messy and not particular useful workaround - Open a fresh email. Get rid of the automatic Plain Text signature. Enter email address of recipient, enter a subject, click attach icon and do not write ANYTHING in the message field or even put your cursor in it. Also send messages like this one at a time.
Has anyone got any advice on how to solve this via Terminal or know if it's an identified bug that will as some point be fixed?
