Hi Bill, Not sure why jpg images were not going through. Don had content filtering set to allow several file types as permissible attachments, e.g., pdf and jpg. I sent out a test and nothing went through so I wiped out the old settings and set them up anew and it seems to work !!
Now I need to check if the attachments will be archived with the email content. More to come.
