Mail automatically resizes images - BAD

Hey folks...

So...I'm trying to send off images to a friend and I don't want them to be resized...but Mail keeps shrinking them. I've been through the Preferences panel and poked through the Help files, but haven't found anything on this. I finally resorted to going online and sending the photos using my email provider...which was annoying, but it worked.
Next time round...can anyone tell me how to fix this? I can't recall what it says in my sig...but I'm running Leopard...

Thanks in advance!
 
How is it possible?

How is it possible that this is so complicated? I love the new functionality of Mail3, but is it really that hard to keep photos the original size? Sheesh...
 
Try this...

1. Quit mail

2. Open Terminal, type:

defaults write com.apple.mail MaxImageSize 'large'

3. Press Enter

4. Open mail again and drag an image to a new message.



Tadaa.

(^-^)
 
Another option is to look in the lower right hand corner of your mail message after you have dropped your photo in the message. There is a drop down box that allows you to select photo size. Choose actual size to send the original photo.
 
Dude, you brought back a 2 year old thread to comment on a feature that was added AFTER the thread was created. Nice.

That's exactly what I do. Mail gives you the flexibility of changing the size easily enough...
