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
Message-id:

To: me
X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.3273)

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.

The pictures are in iCloud. To see them, download the app:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204283

Google Photos is an alternative to iCloud. It's a website, accessible
with any browser, no app needed. There are many such services, eg,
Photobucket. AFAIK, they all provide some levels of privacy and control.


It I had to install an app just to see an attached image in a email I'll
give you a hint where that email would end up...whoosh

Par for the course with Apple. Their iTunes
crap installs 3 processes to run at boot on
Windows.

When looking at systems that owner's complain are running slow, (e.i.,
slower than usual), a quick look at event viewer and odds are a constant
stream of Bonjour Service errors will be discovered...

Did I miss something? How do you know the photos are in iCloud? The
email was sent via an iCloud account, but that alone doesn't tell you
where the photos are.

If the photos are, indeed, in iCloud, then the sender needs to be
educated as to how to send them by email. That is: bring the photos
(not a link to the photos) to your computer and attach them to the
email.

Google Photos is an alternative to iCloud. It's a website, accessible
with any browser, no app needed. There are many such services, eg,
Photobucket. AFAIK, they all provide some levels of privacy and control.


Google provides some level of privacy? Their very existence is about
selling our privacy.

bonjour is a useful tool and does not cause any slowdown whatsoever.

no need to install anything.

so what? there are dozens of processes always running, most of which
are idle and have no adverse effect. only benefits.

Sure...keep telling yourself that. Countless Windows systems that I have
encounter and nearly all the service is constantly crashing. On Linux
many have issues with avahi-daemon, luckily it has not been an issue for
me. BTW why did Apple have to make their own network discovery service?

then there are other issues causing the crashes.

bonjour is very reliable and incredibly useful.

On Linux
many have issues with avahi-daemon,


no they don't.

in any event, apple didn't write the avahi daemon for linux, so
whatever issues you might have are with whomever wrote it.

you can't blame apple for something they didn't write.

luckily it has not been an issue for
me. BTW why did Apple have to make their own network discovery service?


they didn't.

bonjour is just the name apple uses for zeroconf. on linux, it's avahi.

zeroconf was developed in collaboration with apple, microsoft and sun
because nothing like it existed. not using it is incredibly foolish.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3927

http://www.zeroconf.org
The IETF Zeroconf Working Group was chartered September 1999 and held
its first official meeting at the 46th IETF in Washington, D.C., in
November 1999. By the time the Working Group completed its work on
Dynamic Configuration of IPv4 Link-Local Addresses and wrapped up in
July 2003, IPv4LL was implemented and shipping in Mac OS (9 & X),
Microsoft Windows (98, ME, 2000, XP, 2003), in every network printer
from every major printer vendor, and in many assorted network devices
from a variety of vendors. IPv4LL is available for Linux and for
embedded operating systems. If you're making a networked device
today, there's no excuse not to include IPv4 Link-Local Addressing.

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.
