e-mail dropping outgoing images

This is a strange one: For the past several weeks, Apple mail has been sporadically stripping images from outgoing mail. The recipients all claim that there was not attachment, but my copy in the sent mail box shows otherwise.

It's not consistent, though: sometimes it strips the image out, and other times it lets it through.

I've tried changing the size of the image in the outgoing message, to no avail. (I end up sending the images through LinkedIn, because that transfer always works.)

Any thoughts on what the issue could be? I'm using an M1 Macbook Pro, with all the latest versions of the OS and software.

No thoughts on your intermittent issue

without the consistency of a particular recipient, image size/type, the recipients email client/server very hard to speculate or trouble shoot... if this is your issue or a recipient issue.

you can verify your software is up to date…

The current stable release of Ventura including bug fixes, security updates is macOS Ventura 13.4
