[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1593247"] That's because the picture has been converted to a MIME format for transmission. That's the way it works. What should happen is that when it gets to the receiver, it gets converted back to a picture by the same MIME process. Not good. That generally means that a MIME function is not working on the receiving machine. Not the sender, the receiver.You didn't say if you got them as text or pictures, or I don't remember seing that in the thread.HIS MIME service is working as it should. Sounds like yours wasn't. Probably NOT related. Coincidental. Based on it all, it sounds like something went awry in your MIME service, leaving you unable to decode the text properly. To you it looked like NOBODY could see your pictures, but I suspect it was a just you. If, in fact, it was EVERYBODY who saw text, then your MIME service was encoding improperly. Not sure why or how it got started properly again. But you did say in your original post which normally points to something being corrupted after launching. MacKeeper may have done something, or perhaps some other third party software you have installed could be wreaking havoc (AV, other "cleaner" and "helper" third party products, for example). Your testing, where you said None of that is normal. What have you installed that claims to "help" or "clean" or "optimize" or any other buzzword, the operating system? Macs don't need anything except an occasional run of Onyx (about every six months for me). The rest of the time OSX just runs very well without any "help." [/QUOTE]
