Any alternatives to Attachement Tamer? It is driving me crazy that many of my mail-recipients cannot open jpeg-files from me.

I guess you mean you've already updated to Yosemite but Attachment Tamer isn't yet updated for Yosemite?
Have you tried using the normal Mail attachment lately?

Yes off course. I mean Yosemite! And yes - I've tried the normal mail attachement work arounds. They don't work 😟
Try attaching as icons. Open Applications/Utilities/Terminal and copy and past the below.
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool YES
@Eric: I've read elsewhere that the code in terminal will not solve the problem. The recipients opening my mails in Outlook will still not be able to recieve the attachement as intended.
This might help: Mail 8.1, attachments in outlook are showed with ATT00001.htm files
Yeeees. Thank you, Esquared! Universal Mailer seemes to do the trick. I've been sending mails to my Outlook friends with photos this morning. Can't wait to hear their reports. I will be back in the thread if it doesn't work. 🙂
Noooo. Just got a reply from a friend with Outlook. She cannot open my picture. She sent me this screenshot from a mail, where I tried to attach a photo. It's still inline, and she cannot open it.
Guess I'm back to start then. 😟
Make sure you have configured Mail to always include the attachments at the end of the message (you set this under the Edit -> Attachments menu item) and to send Windows-compatible attachments (under the same menu location).
@tdscom: Unfortunately this doesn't help...
Hi,
I was using Attachment Tamer, but its update is not happening. I wrote to the developper but got no answer.
Looking around, I found this: http://clivegaleni.com/posts/os-x-mail-disable-inline-attachments/
First tests seem to work with Outlook.

@SpekyFreddy: Clive Galeni's plug-in didn't help me either. It makes mail freeze. 😟 Could it be because I also have Letter Opener Pro installed?
A workaround might be to zip/compress the image file and add it to the email. It would have to be unzipped at the other end.
Try Letter Opener Pro. It has always worked for me. It seems to do the same thing Attachment Tamer has done in the past, but the company updates quickly and works with Yosemite. I believe they have a free trial available.
I put in that terminal command, but it has created another issue. Now no images show in my mail messages! Like when I share an article in Safari, the image shows as an icon.
Is it that I simply can't have it both ways, or is there a way to make images show again?
One thing I like to do is have my name show like it's written in longhand. Now that doesn't work either.
Help!

You can't have it both ways.
or is there a way to make images show again?
To get it back to how it was originally use this common in the Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool NO
If you want an image to show as an icon in your email as you compose it Control (right) - click on the image and select "Show as icon" in the contextual menu.
However, no matter what you setup at your end it'll be what's setup at the receipients end that controls how they view it.
The only sure file method to make sure the image doesn't display at the other end is to zip it and add the zipped file as the attachment.
