Images with links disappear when sending Mac Mail

I'm on a mac studio with sequoia 15.5 completely up to date.

This problem just started happening (i believe after update). It use to work perfect.

When I send an image with a hyperlink.. the image when not show on the reviving end of the email. The image is replaced with the filename of the image. The hyperlink works.

If I send just the image (With no hyperlink attached) the image displays fine. It's only when I attach the hyperlink that the image no longer shows.
