->> When I send photos through Mac mail windows users can not open the photo, I have tried everything and still no luck, they can not open the photo.
Please any suggestions |

| ->> Another remedy that has worked for me is to send the images inside a folder; that is, attach the folder with the images, not just the images themselves. |

| ->> If you use Mail.app's browser to select an attachment, there should be a checkbox asking if you want to make the attachments easier for Windows users to download. (That's not the direct wording, but I'm not on my Mac right now.) Make sure that is checked. I had a similar problem with MS Outlook users receiving image attachments until I started checking that box. Note, if you drag the attachment to the e-mail, you won't see that checkbox. I think that there is an option to keep it checked in Mail.app preferences. |

| ->> I've also read something in the past that suggested making sure you add attachments to the very bottom of the email, below all the text, or it can cause problems with Outlook/Outlook Express. |

->> I've had this problem as well and a quick modification to my workflow seems to have resolved the problem. Since I am usually cropping down hi-res images for email, I use the Save for Web and Devices option in Photoshop (Save for Web in some versions) to save the cropped image at a quality of 60. I keep it at 100 if I am emailing a hi-res image to someone. Whenever I send an image like this, the recipient can always open it. Hope this helps if the other suggestions don't work.

| ->> Thanks for the info I will try these and see what works, I wish it just worked the way it is suppose to, I have called apple and they say that I am doing something wrong. Well at least it is not just me. It is just an attachment it does not make any sense. Again thanks for the input. |
