Mail changing PNG attachment to JPEG?

I would like to send an iPad screenshot - captured as a PNG image - using the Mail app. But the image attachment is being converted to the JPEG format when sent.


Is there any way to stop that?

iPad Air Wi-Fi, iOS 7.1.1

Are you sure your RECEIVING email client isn't doing the conversion?


Thank you for the help.


It wasn't actually the email client at the other end, but rather a third-party photo app on my iPad - Photogene.


I had been sending the screenshot as an email attachment from within Photogene. It seems that this app was converting it to the JPEG format. When I simply chose the image from the Camera Roll - directly in the Mail app - the PNG format was kept.


Thanks again.
