How to attach a photo to an email as an attachment vs within the text?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2
I tried that too, but "View qs icon" only seems to change the view to the icon while I am composing the email. When the sent message arrives, the image is still embedded in the text and I have again to use "View as icon", even when I am sending all messages as plain, unformatted text.
I also discovered, through Help/Mail that you can click on the photo embedded, hit Control, then click and an option comes up to view it as an Icon. What a hurdle that was! But I think it worked.
I am compressing the image and sending it as a zip file (in the Finder, ctrl-click on the image, select "Compress"). Then Mail has no chance to embed it as inline image.
It used to help to use "Edit > Attachments > Always send Windows Friendly Attachments", but that does no longer suffice to prevent the image from being sent inline.
Yes. I just discovered that myself from the receivers end! Hahaha. I will try your approach to compress image as a zip file, not that I've ever done that before. Learning...
How the email shows at the receiver's end is entirely down to the settings that person has on their computer.
