mac windows gmail pic

Received two emails in Gmail web mail on Win10 with no attachment icons.
They are huge mime things when viewed in Gmail as original.
Sender says there are about 50 iPhone photos in each email.
I just see black [x] boxes in gmail, which disappear when I click them.
Something takes a few minutes to load and then goes away.
The header of the emails is
From: name of persion
Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary="Apple-Mail=_big_number"
MIME-version: 1.0 (Mac OS X Mail 10.3 \(3273\))
Subject: Pictures

How do I view the pics from iphone to mac on windows?

Don`t use email for such tasks. Use Google Photos for exchange of
pictures or https://wetransfer.com/

It sounds like the images are linked rather than attached
or embedded. One can send an attachment. One can
embed the images in the body of the email. Or the images
can be added only as HTML links. The first two are the
same except for slight differences in the coding. In both
cases, the images have been converted to text encoding
and are in the email. In the third case, linking, there's no
image there. It's just an HTML link to an image elsewhere.
Those are usually blocked by most email programs because
remote image links are used for ads and tracking. From
your description it's not clear whether you're actually
getting a view of the images. If you are, you should be able
to save them, if you want to.

What you provided of the email content isn't enough to
know what happened. Try saving the email as a file to the
desktop. If it's a small file then the images are only linked.
If it's a giant file then it sounds like the iPhone has sent
an invalid email. I've been sent images attached from an
iPhone before. The sender may just be doing it wrong.

Also, you both seem to be using webmail. It might help if the
sender used a real camera, sent from a real email address,
and you had real email. Or at least set up POP email for
your gmail. When you use freebie Web services it can get
confusing because all of that is designed to keep you online
and not have offline copies of files.

And as Michael Logies noted, it might make sense to just
put the images online somewhere. Even at the top resolution
for sending photos from an iPhone, it's not good for anything
but viewing onscreen. And sending via email adds 1/3 to the
file size. So if you have a friend who likes to send lots of
photos, they might want to try postimg, imgur.org, or
some other freebie image hosting service.

it doesn't matter what camera it is.

webmail is real email with a real email address.

Or at least set up POP email for
your gmail.

pop is obsolete.

it's not nonsense at all.

imap does everything pop can do and much more. there is no longer any
reason whatsoever use pop anymore, particularly since everyone now
reads their mail from multiple devices.

not only that, but many isps don't offer pop anymore.

Okay nonsense again. As I said different service for different
requirements. I run mailservers. No not *everyone* reads their mail from
multiple devices. Some accounts I and others need to access from
multiple devices so we use IMAP. Other accounts for business we don't
and offline storage is important so we use POP. Some ISPs no longer
offer email...Verizon is now dumping the service but I would not say
email is obsolete.

Use a better email client. It's obvious the web browser and/or the GMail
web mail interface are malfunctioning. Things you can try:

- use a different web browser in case the malfunction is due to the
particular browser you are using

- configure a native email client application for GMail so that you can
read the message without a web browser

I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead.
