Hi all, just got my new MBP today and am using OS X for the very first time!

One thing is killing me though. When I want to email pics, I don't want them to be sent as inline, ie... embedded into the message itself. I want them to send as attachments.

Is there any way of doing this? I found a terminal command that would do it, but then that screwed up any INCOMING emails with inline images, which obviously I still want to keep.

Can anyone please help? It's driving me crazy!

Thanks
 
I take it you're sending JPEGs? We had the same issue, and as a work around found we were able to send as attachments if we put the email as plain text and didn't use a signature. Not ideal, so if anyone else has a better solution I'd be interested to hear it myself.
 
I think you are making this situation more complicated than it is. As long as you are not sending html formatted emails, the recipient will receive the attachments displayed per their own client settings, either inline or as separate attachments. The fact that they are displayed inline during composition is irrelevant to how it will look when received.

Not at all making it more complicated. Many people I've spoken to get them as inline images, and are unable to save them to their machine. It's ridiculous. I was just wondering if there was a fix.

Are you using html to compose your messages? If yes, switch to plain text or rtf. If no, than the display of the messages on the recipients end is decided by the settings of their email client. I've never come across an email client that couldn't save images even if they are displayed inline.
 
Everyone’s overcomplicating this. Right click the picture, click “View as Icon”. You’re done.
