Note: The closest I've come to getting this fixed, is when I got an Apple Tech Support person on the phone with me, and he tested this himself, found the same issue, and told me he would pass this on to the Engineers. There is a selection somewhere for "Windows friendly attachments", but that doesn't solve the problem.īecause of this bug, the only satisfactory solution I could find was to purchase Microsoft Office, and use the Outlook mail program, which doesn't have this bug. The proper fix would be to be able to open Apple Mail, then go to Mail Preferences, then provide a check box to send attachments as normal attachments instead of embedding into the body of the mail message. I am tired of Apple Tech Support people trying to help me, with no success, then getting a senior advisor involved, who also can't fix it, and then telling me to report it as a bug, which I've been doing for five years. The ONLY way I have found to reliably do this, is if I'm sending a file "picture.jpg" as an attachment, to first rename it as something like "picture.abc".Īpple Mail sees the file is not a jpg, png, or pdf, so it sends the file as a normal attachment.Īfterwards, the recipient can save the file with the temporary name, "picture.abc" and rename it as "picture.jpg". The problem is that when Apple Mail sees that a file is either a jpg, a png, or a pdf, the mail app embeds the image into the message, which means it is useless at the receiving end. I want to be able to send a medical image to others, using Apple Mail, sending it as a normal mail attachment, so it is received by the other person as an attachment, that they can save, and have a complete copy of my original file, with all EXIF data in place. I talk to Apple Tech Support, they connect to my computer, and tell me lots of ways around the problem, but nothing works.
