This entire thread seems to discuss the pros of other web graphic formats. Who cares -- this is a mail app, not a web browser?!? If Macs default to sending screenshots as TIFFs, then I need a mail app that can display TIFFs, because like it or not there are a lot of people who use Macs and who send emails to Windows users like me. This thread's been going for 17 years and my Thunderbird STILL doesn't display a TIFF. When I responded to the sender that I couldn't see their screenshot, my reply actually rendered the TIFF and they think I'm an idiot because I use a mail app that doesn't work "properly".
