Double Images in e-mail

I have a problem e-mailing images with Aperture. I export them for e-mail, attach them to an e-mail and send. The images arrive to the intended person fine, except along with them comes duplicate files, which have no actual image associated with them.

So it might look like this: Attachment : c2.jpg (0.05 MB), c2.jpg (0.19 MB), c1.jpg (0.05 MB), c1.jpg (0.15 MB)

With the 0.19 MB images being the actual images and the 0.5 MB images being the “ghost” images.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Nat

Are these RAW + JPEG images by chance? Not sur eI can explaing it, but it might be worht sending it to yourself to verify it's not just your friend's mail server.

Hi Nat,

that may be a "feature" of the receiver's email program. Which email client are you using for sending, what client is used for receiving the e-mails? Does this occur with other email clients as well?

Furthermore, Aperture has a neat feature for exporting images directly to Apple's "Mail" client. Have you tried that? Does the same phenomenon occur?

Cheers,
Karl

I must be getting sleepy, so many word issues.

Your 'ghost' images sound like resource forks.

There are some settings in Mail to control how the attachment is sent. Pick the one that talks about 'pc compatibility', and hopefully that'll leave off the resource fork which just contains a preview image of the main thing.
