Your attachments might be showing up as thumbnails in the body if you’re writing the emails in Rich Text instead of HTML. Here’s how to make your attachments show at the top instead:
- Click on the File tab in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.
- Click on “Options” in the menu on the left.
- Click on “Mail” near the top left in the box that pops up.
- In the top section, under “Compose Messages”, see if it says “Rich Text” next to “Compose message in this format”.
- If so, click on the dropdown arrow and choose “HTML”.
- Click OK to get out of the box.
You can also check to see if individual emails you’re writing or replying to are in Rich Text. To do this:
- Open the email.
- Click on the Format Text tab on the ribbon at the top of your screen.
- Near the left-hand side, in the Format group, check to see if “Rich Text” is highlighted. If so, click on HTML instead.
See if your attachments now appear below the Subject line instead of the body of the email.
