Q: How do I attach JPEG photo files to email rather than embed the image?

The two methods that liquidfuse refers to in his posting to change the default behavior of Mail so that instead of having the default attachment viewing behavior be inline, to instead make it be attachments. One method involves use a simple Terminal "Defaults" type command, and the other method uses the "Secrets" System Preference to uncheck the "Show attachments inline" Mail setting. Read the link at the katiefloyd.me (which really gets diverted to the katiefloyd.com blog page automatically). The first two are free, but she also talks about using the Lokiware attachment tamer application as well but it isn't free. All three seem to solve the problem without jumping thru some extra hoops every time you want to do this as some of the other posts here talk about.

After driving myself and my friend w/a PC nuts,  I created a new file folder,dragged the photos into it and sent it as a "windows friendly attachment'  worked like a charm.
