Using a mac with Catalina 10.15.6 (and zsh) - when I send emails with pdf attachments they are received as embedded files which makes it hard for the receiver to follow. I send them as icons but when the other person gets them it's all jumbled together. I've sent the messages to myself so I know. Compressing the file works but that's just too awkward for the receiver.
You can't control what your recipient's email client decides to do with the message.
If they are using Outlook, best you can do for them is:
Send Windows friendly attachments
Insert Attachments at end of message
and send as Plain Text.
I do send Windows friendly attachments and inset them at the end of the message - but - they’re still embedded! I frequently copy myself when I’m sending an email with attachments and what I get is a mess. All the attachments are inserted into the email. Any other ideas?
Any other ideas?
Use a different email client. Or, have your recipients use an email client that supports email standards.
Interesting that there's no work around. I'll have to check into some of the options other than apple mail.
Thanks!
