PDF attachments in Mail not showing as Icon...

So when writing emails, I normally can attach the attachment (eg. PDF Document/ Images) and right click on the attachment and select "view as icon". Since updating to MacOS High Sierra 10.13.1, it will not give me the option to view my attachment as an icon...

I have tried highlighting the attachment then right clicking and not highlighting just plain right click, and the option still won't appear.

I have even rebooted Mail several times and this still isn't working... SOME ONE HELP!!!!!!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS High Sierra (10.13.1)

I have noticed the same thing, but it may not be as much of an issue as either of us think.

When I clicked on "send" anyway and then looked in my sent mail folder, the attachment

was shown as an icon.

My example is just a two page pdf with photos. When sending, I see the just first page and

have no option to "view as icon". But the sent mail shows the icon (only).


Try some testing to send it to a friend who will tell you what it looks like (non-apple).

Last I knew, my apple Mail automatically show the full attachment whether it was sent as

an icon or not.
