The person using the Macintosh should sent the file to themselves on an

outisde account to see what they are getting (like to a GMAIL account and

check it from the web browser - not an internal application.)

 

Also - you should probably try the same from the person - as it could be

your end with the issue - some filter on whatever server, etc.

 

Lastly - the Macintosh person should save the file as a JPG and then attach

that file to the email - not use any internal features of their email client

to make it 'PC Friendly'. It's a picture - it should already be 'any

computer/OS you want to run friendly'.

 

(They could use Picasa and post it in an album.)

And just adding to Shenan's good advice - tell your friend to make sure

to actually name the file "name-of-picture.jpg". Mac's don't need to

have the file extension shown and they don't by default. PCs do need the

file extension.
