Image Attachments in Mac Mail

2013-11-30 Thread Michael McMurtrey
Why does Mail sometimes change my attachments to embedded images? I'm  
trying to send some JPEGs of about 3.5 MBs each, but I have received a  
complaint that each one has been converted to a 640 x 293 pixel  
thumbnail inserted as pictures. How do I ensure my recipient  
receives the full-size images?

I assume you mean one of the ADC displays that get power from the  
video card.
Nothing special -- if the power supply was marginal enough for an  
ADC display
to push it over the edge, there's nothing you could realistically  
have done

to avoid its failure.

However, ADC doesn't draw a great deal, which is why Apple ended up
abandoning it.

Don't know which version of Mail you are using, but check under the  
Edit Menu for Attachments. Which option is checked?

Yes, which version of mail? I am using 2.1.3 under 10.4 and there is  
an option for image size in the bottom right corner of the compose  
window once you add a picture. Make sure that is set to actual size.  
I took a quick look and I did not see where to set the default image  
size in Mail's preferences.


The 640 x 293 is pretty close to the medium. so it may be sizing  
things down to that.

Besides what has already been suggested, it might be Mail considers those
images too big.
You could try compressing them (one by one, or in a single folder/file), and
attach them as ZIP files. Mail shouldn't mess with ZIP attachments.

Every version of Mail I've used has had some means of setting the size of an 
attachment. I believe Mail tries to be 'smart' and limit  sizes to a 
'manageable range' by default

IIRC, since 10.4-ish, there's been a small dropdown menu at the top of the body 
when an attached image is present, allowing you to choose small, medium, large 
and 'original size'. This applies to all attachments.

That said there has been seven versions of Mail to date, always specify the 
version and/or OS X version when you post a question, because the actual answer 
may vary depending on the version.
