Can someone help me with this. Sent a .jpg attachment to a Mac user and
was told it was not received as an attachment but as "code" inside the
email. I think "code" means a lot of weird symbols and letters. The
receiver is using Mail.app.
I forwarded the same email to myself and received it with the attachment
intact.
So what can be done about this ? What could cause this to happen ? Can
it be fixed ?
Any help much appreciated.

When he try to open the attachment tell him to hold down the Option key.
I sometimes have that problem when i download jpegs. Don;t know why it
happens but that was a real oldie cure in the past.

Sounds like the message is being interpreted as something to be shown
"inline". Strange. Email clients which have that option know that such
an operation should only be done for items detected as text.
Are you sending it compressed or with some funky encoding for your
images? What does your correspondent have as his/her settings for
reading such email?

I'm not sure I understand. The attachment itself doesn't exist. Do you
mean hold down option when opening the email ?

No compression and Smart (Auto Detect). She is using Mail.app with no
special settings, as far as I know. It's ironic that until now I've only
sent attachments to PC users and had no problem, but the first Mac to
Mac transfer fails.
Could it be a glitch with Mail.app; I have no experience of that program.
