when I send email jpegs they are received small and distorted
I send jpeg email attachments and they are received very small and distorted.
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
Try compressing them first.

thanks Mark..will give a try.
Way too little info about your WorkFlow and source image(s) -
- insert a typical ORIGINAL image using the camera tool or drag & drop
- if you have one, same for the "received" image
we can look at their respective attributes ourselves
- what Mail client?
- Tell us exactly what steps you take - n detail - to attach
(insert? - my MS Entourage will do both with different appearance )
attach is just that - attached and NOT displayed
INSERT puts the image InLine (like here) AND attaches it for transmission
The behavior you describe makes me think that the original file is HiRes - like for printing - and the resulting sent file is ScreenRes - BOTH with the same dimensions in Inches/CMs
e.g., here are two images - both with the same physical size (±3.6"x2.0") but different 'resolutions' for DISPLAY - 72ppi & 300ppi respectively
click/tap to enlarge
here's the PhotoShop Image Size dialog for reference on the "good one"
Don't forget the little "Image size" thingy on the right, just below the "From" line.
What App? Coming or going? (I have nothing like that 'image size' option that I can find in MS Entourage - the triangle next to "From" is all about the contact options)
You should also tell us the RECIPIENT's OS and App details
Hmmm, what does MS Entourage have to do with anything?
The OP is running 10.10.3 and most likely Mail which is what CT is referring to. And, you probably wouldn't have that in your version of Mail - this snapshot is from Mail v. 7.3 (in Mavericks) which did not change in Yosemite.
And, the likelihood of anyone knowing exactly what OS or app a recipient uses is slim to none.
