I have access to both Mail.app and mutt on a Linux box, so I just did a few experiments. Here's what I found: 1. Clicking the Attach button and dragging an image into the compose window have the same effect. 2. If you have the message format set to "Plain Text" (under Preferences/Composing) it always looks OK in mutt. "OK" means that mutt tells you there are image attachments when you first look at the email. 3. This is true even if the images are in the middle of the message! 4. If you send the attachment with the message format set to "Rich Text", it still looks OK if you don't do anything to make the text "rich", e.g. bold, italics, different font sizes. 5. Mail.app appears to only send the message as HMTL (with the images "hidden" in mutt) if the message format is "Rich Text" and the body of the message actually has "rich text". Walt Attachment:
