Galaxy s6 embedding pictures in email - why?

[sfs27040]

Hi,
First time post. I have a Galaxy s6 that just recently has been doing this. When I select a picture from Gallery or Photo and Share to an email (Outlook or Yahoo) it attaches the photo already opened up within the body of the email. Previous to this week it would show up as an attachment. I thought I changed some setting but others in my office are having the same issue. Seems like there was an update in the last week of so that may have changed something. I've looked pretty deep into the setting but can't find anything giving me an option to "Attach Attachment" vs "Embed image" in email.
I've gone back several pages on this forum to see if it was mention but I did not see anything so sorry if this has been answered already.

Use a different email app

I have to use Outlook for work. Given it happened to me just recently and now to several others in the office (all using s6's or newer) it must be related to an update. I just can't find anything in the settings to make it go back emailing with attachments. It also does it if I send/receive using Yahoo mail.

I also went to the Verizon store and they were zero help.

I am having this exact same problem. Was working fine before until a week or so ago. I was also thinking perhaps this was due to an update.

I will try other apps but I'd really prefer to keep working with my Outlook app.

Are you sure it's not the Outlook desktop client that changed and not your email message?

I'm quite sure this has nothing to do with a desktop client.

I've been using the Outlook app on my previous phones (S4 & LGG4) for a while and all the photos I sent via email were as attachments. They appear as attachments during message composition phase on the phone and are received as attachments on my desktop client. About a month ago I started using an S6 and my photos are now embedded in the emails, while I'm composing them. I cannot get them to attach as before. I now receive them embedded on my desktop client. In my mind this points to the updated Outlook app which I recently installed.

Subsequent to my post yesterday I tested the default email app on my S6 and the photos are attached - not embedded.

Some Feedback:
I updated the Outlook app on my S6 over the weekend and I'm now able to attach photos from Whatsapp and my galary. They are received as attachments on my desktop client. However, when I try attach a photo from within the Outlook app they remain embedded and are received embedded.

I await the next update...
