[X4U] Why do some images not go through on Apple Mail?

[J. R. Rosen]

HELLO LISTERS ! ! !

I send a lot of proofs, mainly PDF files to hospitals with heavy-duty  
I.T. supervision.  I always had problems until I made sure that...
1) use the "attach" button - NO CUT AND PASTE - NO DRAG-N-DROP,
2) make sure that your attachment is the last thing on the page -  
BELOW YOUR SIGNATURE,
3) check the "Windows Friendly" box in the attachment window.

When I follow these guidelines, it is very rare that any attachments  
are not seen, nor are they "dropped".

I always "CC" myself to make sure that everything works correctly.

GOOD LUCK - Y'ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY ! ! !
