Hello fellow WAMUGGERS,

How the heck do you stop Image and PDF attachments embedding in the email itself ?
It does not seem to happen with Excel files.
I have gone through Mail Preferences several times but cannot find any way of switching this off. I have friends who are not happy about receiving attachments that are not attached.

Hello Stephen,

Are you attaching a file using the Attach button on the toolbar or by choosing File > Attach File (Command-Shift-A), and selecting the 'Send Windows Friendly Attachments' ? Mail offers no convenient way to toggle Windows friendliness for attachments added by drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste.

Do you have the correct file extension e.g.. .pdf & .jpg?

To be certain that a graphic does not appear inline, you must compress the file before attaching it. Under Tiger, the easiest way to compress a file (in Windows-friendly Zip format) is to select the file in the Finder and choose File > Create Archive of filename.
Under Leopard, in Finder choose File > Compress.

Also add your attachments at the 'end' of your email, even after a signature if you use one.

Cheers,
Ronni
