Apple Mail - Inline Graphics...

[Andrew Darlow]

Hi Scot:

You can right click on each photo (or a group of images) and choose  
"view as icon." It won't make much of a difference to the person on  
the other end though-their e-mail program should treat them the same  
way.

Here is another related tip from a recent newsletter that I sent out  
a few months ago.

QUICK TIP 01- APPLE MAIL

In Apple's Mail application, after attaching an image to a post, you  
can size down images from the box in the bottom right of the message  
window (see below). This can be very helpful, and can save time  
(especially with jpgs), but don't try to size down a PDF. It will let  
you, but your file will get turned into a jpg along the way and may  
no longer be readable after it is sent.

Other file types, like .zip and .doc cannot be sized down in the Mail  
window.

If you want to bulk size down images, attach them, and select all, or  
select them link you would text, then size them down. If you want to  
size down just certain ones, separate them by placing your cursor in  
front of the images and press return a few times. That way they won't  
be "linked."

I have another newsletter with some OSX-related info here: <http://

All the best,

Andrew Darlow
