    I contacted support. They said it's by design. I informed them that no other version of Outlook on desktop, Windows 10, the old Windows phone (which my Lumia 950 of 4 years just died) nor old Windows mobile. Then they came back with this response...

    "You can however just put the pictures in a zip file. When you attach the zip. It will be considered as an attachment."

    What an absolute stupid idea. People shouldn't use zips. People who don't know enough could open one then execute a virus inside.

    Use DropBox (NOT OneDrive) to transfer files until they have this dealth with. I suspect there's a reason this has been done and they are going to force us to use a work around.
