Pictures in body of email, want them just attached instead!

Mail->Help->Mail Help->search fo attachments and peruse the hits. You might find that Mail is mucked up and will only insert images instead of a normal attachment. In the Attaching Pictures, find this:

You can select Edit > Attachments > “Always Insert Attachments at End of Message” to have attachments inserted at the end whenever you send a message with attachments, which may help Windows recipients.

A workaround is to zip the files and attachment as a compressed item.

How attachments depends on how the receipients email client is set up. What you can do to prevent photos from showing in an email's body regardless of how the client is set up is to: 1 - zip the photos and add as an attachment or: 2 - put the photos in a folder and add the folder as the attachment.

AFAIK, that only disables viewing on the composer's machine and has nothing to do with Mail's inabiltiy to send graphics as anything but inline without changing things to zip files or folders. That's the issue.

An attachment is an attachment. It is up to the receiving client how it displays.

You can try to force the format of the email so that some non-standard email clients can handle the attachments.

In the Edit menu, Attachments submenu, select both windows friendly and add attachments to end of message. Set the type of email to Plain Text.

You can use Attachment Tamerto control how your attachments are handled.

Mail - show attachments as icons:

defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool YES

Copy and paste the command into Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
