Hello George,
When you use Apple's Mail to send the photos using the attach method,
are you clicking on the "Make Windows Friendly Attachment" checkbox at
the bottom of the dialog box?
What happens when you drag and drop a photo directly into the mail
message?
Some things to watch out for as well:
Make sure the photo ends in the correct extension; that is jpeg photos
end in .jpg (dot-j-p-g) and tiff photos end in .tif (dot-t-i-f)
How many places the message travels through before it gets to the
destination can cause problems. Some transfer points will not let
individual messages bigger than 1 MB travel through, so make sure the
photos are not the bigger 4MB(+) jpegs. You make have to down-size
and compress the jpeg to get it small enough to travel.
Some spam filters will try to neutralize jpegs etc., under the
assumption they may be spam or viruses. So your recipients may have to
check with their admin to see if this is happening.
At various times, ISPs like AOL would block things so no matter which
email client you use to send with (or which platform you did it from)
they would not get the photos.
If all else fails and you have a web-site, pop them up on the site
somewhere and let them "right-click" the image to download it to their
hard drive.

Someday, I will come up with a clever signature line. I am not sure if
I will use it or not, but I will come up with one.
