Send pictures as attachments and not embedded with iPhone

Hi there

just wanted to say thanks for the info. I tried your suggestion and it worked perfectly. It does get annoying when you cant get this to work and on android phones it works like a charm.

thanks for the help.

I have to concur with J145. I just sent a picture (open picture in Photos, click share, enter email address, click send) from my business iPhone iOS 7 (Lotus email) to my personal email (IMAP account forwarded to my Gmail account) and it was received as an attachment.

Then I sent a picture from my business iPad iOS 7 to the same personal email address above and it was received inline.

All settings and signatures (typed signatures but the phone/fax numbers are hyperlinks) are identical on iPhone and iPad.

Come to think of it, when I sent the picture from my iPhone, it asked me what size file I would like to send. This did not happen when I sent the picture from my iPad.

Any new ideas?

Hello -

We are having the same problem when sending photos with Gmail on the iPhone. This just happened suddenly. The photos used to send (and be received) as attachments. Now they only come through embedded/inline. No signature is being used (just the text "sent from my iPhone").

Is "sent from my iPhone" considered a "signature"?

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. We have techs in the field sending in photos throughout the day and it is now very time consuming to print their photos.

Thank you for your time!

Hi,

i had the same problem sending Pictures as attachment using IPhone 6s IOS 10.0.2.

I solved it with the help of the Information of Nuka Kola.

How? go to -> Settings -> Mail -> Signatur then delete your Signatur and even Pictures if you have some in your signature. Then type in all the text as letters and numbers by hand. The most important thing is: Do not integrate Hyperlinks and Pictures in the "IOS Mail signature" on your phone!

After i made the changes i tried sending and now it works!

Thank you!

Hallo,
Ich hatte das selbe Problem beim versenden von Bildern/Fotos als Anlage mit IPhone 6s IOS 10.0.2.

Wie? Öffne am IPhone ->Einstellungen -> Mail -> Signatur dann löschst ** deine Signatur(Bilder und Texte). Danach gibst ** die Signatur als Text(Buchstaben und Zahlen) von Hand ein.
Das Wichtigste ist: Verwenden Sie keine Hyperlinks und Bilder in der "IOS Mail-Signatur" auf Ihrem Handy!

Nachdem ich die Änderungen durchführte habe ich es noch mal getestet!
Nun funktioniert das Senden von BIldern als Anhang auch auf meinem IPhone 6s wieder.

Vielen Dank!

For whatever reason it didn't work for me. I don't see signature options in gmail settings other than on or off, but both send the picture embedded. The save as html in Outlook trick described below did work.

I have the same problem, I used to just send pictures as attachments so why have they started to embed?

I dont use a signature and this never happened before. Why can't apple provide solutions instead of us having to relay on each other?

I have the same problem. I called the support desk, spoke to Senior Support Technician, spent 45 minutes on the phone explain the issue and at the end they blamed Microsoft. I showed how it attached images to email on my IPhone 6 and 6 Plus and how IPhone 7 didn't supported. Still no resolution. If they are unable to find a resolution, will consider switching to Android OS.

Strange, I just deleted my signature and it's not working for me.

I tried to send the image as original size, and to send it form the mail app, or from the photos app but nothing worked. It always embeds the photo instead of an attachment.

What model of the iPhone do you have? @vdarias seems to suggest it's an iPhone 7 thing that it now only does HTML emails?

I finally got mine to work by entering signitures manaully (Not using the copy and past feature). I hope apple is reading this. The reason why they don't fix it is because THEY ARE LAZY!!!! They also don't care how things work with Microsoft products. Hey why make your product work well for your customers though, even though they may be using microsoft.

From what I can tell pressing and holding is the new drag and drop in iOS 11. So it's now a double tap that brings up the toolbar.

However, there's no 'Send As Attachment" option. Just a "Add Attachment" which lets you add a PDF etc. But not a jpeg as an attachment from your photos library.

Or did I do something wrong?

When will they support iPhone's mail client to compose HTML? I'm very annoying with this 😢

Never.

Tried and not solving the issue of who receives it on a pc platform will have it as embedded!

The Outlook tip to save the email as a .htm file really helped; the photo is then added to a separate folder, as a .jpg. Thanks for the tip!
