Embedded images on e-mail showing as cid:

Whenever I try to send an image, the user gets a cid:XXXXXXX instead.

I've tried from gmail, mail, outlook. It doesn't matter if I click-and-drag from a website or from finder.

Any ideas?

By the way, using the most updated version of High Sierra, Mail for Mac...

How to get Apple Mail to load images automatically since Monterey upgrade? I have tried turning ON and OFF Mail Privacy Protection in Mail preferences but must still click Load Content Directly to view images correctly.

Image attachements sent to microsoft exchange email addresses do not come through Whenever I send an image to someone through Mac Mail, and this person's email address is through a Microsoft Exchange Server (like many colleges and universities), they always respond that there is no attachment. Yet, *I* see the attachment in the thread just fine. If I re-send the image as a PDF, everything is perfect. More info: YES, I have chosen to put attachments at the end of the message and YES I chose to use windows-friendly attachments. This is really quite annoying, and it doesn't matter which account I send from -- be it Gmail, an exchange account, or another. When someone using outlook gets my email and the attachment is an image (jpg, tif, png, whatever) they do not see it. But if I test and send to myself (I've several exchange accounts) and check on web-based email, everything is fine. So I think there's something with Outlook, but it has to directly do with Mac Mail's sending of the attachement. Thoughts?
