Mail sending corrupted attachments
I am having trouble sending attachments in Mail.app. Sometimes it works fine, but occasionally, if I send e.g. a few images, they show up as inline images (not attachments) that have been through the blender. A small image shows up that contains contents of all three images, squashed and stretched into one.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions as to how to fix it? Or is Mail.app just borked?

Who is your outgoing smtp provider? Have you tried setting up say a Gmail account with pop/imap and then using the outgoing gmail smtp server to send an email with attachments (to confirm that by using a different smtp server provides the same issue to the same people).

You can test send to me if you contact me for details.

I am using my Gmail SMTP server. It's very strange -

If I send it from Mail.app (and forward it to myself), it looks borked everywhere (including Gmail), but the forwarded copy to myself opens in Mail.app just fine.

If I sent it from Gmail, everything looks how it should.

It seems like a bug in Mail.app, if it looks fine in Mail.app (via Gmail's SMTP server) but the same email is borked when viewed from anywhere else.
