Apple MAIL Question Re Attachments ?

[Robert11]

Hi,

I may not be remembering this correctly, but:

I want to send an eMail via Apple MAIL which is my default
eMail on my Mac, but I don't want to embed the Attachments in the heart of the eMail itself.

I remember, perhaps from Outlook ?, that it is usually possible to have a small independent
window on the eMail that simply lists Attachments that can be opened up by recipient, if and when desired.
The Sender would drag or drop the Files and items into it that they want to send as Attachments.

Is it possible to do this in MAIL, or having Attachments embedded is the only way ?

If so, how please ?

Thanks,
Bob

Hi,

As always, thanks for help and suggestions.

Another "old age" problem I guess.

Hello,

Sorry for the late response...

Maybe this will help: OS X: Turning Off Inline Mail Attachments

Let us know if that works for you,

Hi Cory,

As always, thanks for help.
Interesting read.

Apparently does not work on recipient side.
Any idea how to implement for both sender and receiver ?

Regards,

No worries.

Normally, Windows machines will always show them as attachments...Macs will show them inline. I thought there was a setting in Mail preferences to turn off inline attachements on the Mac. It may depend on the version of OS X/macOS and the Mail application though.
