Q: Photos in Messages not sending to email

When I receive a photo in Messages on my iPhone, I share (forward) it to my email.

But I never receive the email message.

And the same message I receive in Messages on my iPhone, is not syncing to Messages on my iMac.  In other words, the original message is not displaying in Messages on my iMac.

iPhone 6s, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

    Are you getting any error message?

    Also have you checked the spam, junk and trash folders on the email?

    You need to connect the phone to the Mac using Continuity and the steps in the link below

    This solves half my problem.

    Messages are now properly syncing to my Mac from my iPhone.

    However, I am still not able to email an attached photo in Messages on my iPhone to my email account.  The message sends OK from the iPhone, but it does not appear as a new message in Apple Mail.
