Apple mail forwarded messages not showing pictures

Frustrating!

When Apple Mail forwards messages, it's possible that the images are not being included in the forwarded message. Here are a few potential reasons and solutions:

  1. Image size or type: If the images are too large or in an unsupported format, they might not be forwarded. Try reducing the image size or converting them to a more compatible format like JPEG or PNG.
  2. Message format: Apple Mail might not forward messages in Rich Text Format (RTF) or HTML. Try forwarding the message in Plain Text format instead.
  3. Email client settings: Check your email client settings to ensure that images are allowed to be forwarded. You can do this by going to Mail > Preferences > Viewing, and making sure that "Show images in messages" is enabled.
  4. Server-side issue: The issue might be on the server-side, preventing images from being forwarded. Try contacting your email provider's support team to see if they're experiencing any issues with image forwarding.
  5. Forwarding method: If you're using the "Forward as Attachment" option, try using the "Forward" option instead. This might help preserve the images in the forwarded message.

To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following:

  1. Forward the message again, and check the message headers to see if the images are being included. You can do this by clicking on the "View" menu, then "Message" > "Message Source".
  2. Check the message body for any HTML code or formatting that might be preventing the images from displaying.
  3. Try forwarding the message to a different email address to see if the issue is specific to the recipient's email client or server.

If none of these solutions work, you can try resetting your Apple Mail settings or seeking further assistance from Apple Support or your email provider's support team.
