I've noticed an issue in mail.app that has me stumped. In general, when I've wanted to send someone e.g. a jpeg file, I've usually used the "attach" button and attached the file. Earlier (i.e., pre-2.x) versions of mail would display the graphics inline, as well as show them as attachments that could either be clicked on or saved.
But the new (Tiger) versions of mail.app seem a little less straightforward. If I use the "attach" button to send to another user of mail.app, the images don't display inline, but you can still do a slideshow or save them. Same thing if you drag them in from the Finder, although if you copy and paste them from, say, Photoshop, they'll display inline.
But no matter how I attach the images, if I send them to a Windows user, they'll sometimes display in the message body and sometimes not, but in no case do they show as actual attachments. Which means the recipient can't forward them, double-click on them to open them up in another application, or even save them. The only way the recipient can do anything with them at all is to do a screen capture. What's going on here? Is mail.app doing something completely broken and non-standard with graphics attachments?
