I don't use a cell phone and my camera broke some time ago. I was given another one that seems to work okay, but I am having trouble sending photos to people as email attachments. The photos look okay at my end, and I have even tried editing and resaving them with Paint to screen out anything that might affect them, but I have had complaints from different recipients that the photos are not coming through. I don't know why and I don't know what to look for. One photo I uploaded to Geekzone worked fine. The problem seems to be with email attachments. This always worked well in the past with my other photos so I don't know what could be causing it. The only thing that is different is the camera.

 

Here is what one person sent back to me. I am just showing the first part. It goes on for quite a long way.

The camera is a Nikkon Coolpix S7000. The email is Windows Livemail. I am sending the photos as file attachments, as I always have.

That is uuencoding. It is a very old method of attaching files and I wouldn't be surprised if some modern clients don't support it anymore.

 

If you can configure your client to use MIME (preferably with base64 encoding), use that instead.
