    They fixed it worse now!!  I was able to just send 1 picture at a time as an attachment.  Now, it embeds just 1 picture in the email.  This is such a pain in the but.  Doesn't Microsoft think we might want to get the original file so we can do something with it?  Well at least I can right click on the picture and save it as a file.  But then have to chase down the location.

    This updated app is garbage. I take many photos in my work and email them back to myself and clients.  I used to wonder what type of cheap phone or app someone was using when I received an email with inline photos - many times they are difficult to print and even view.  I am not happy that I can no longer send a photo as an attachment.  MS - please change this, it does not make sense that you what update an app to be so user un-friendly!

    has anything happened with this yet, its frustrating trying to print individual pictures when they are all in the body of the email instead of attachments.

    Microsoft hurry up and fix this! Outlook for android seems to be the only app that does this, who's bright idea was it

    Still a big issue!! The only solution is to open outlook on the browser on your phone, then you can attach images as actual attachements, it even gives the option that the app should have.... USELESS MICROSOFT, USELESS!!!!!

    Since you asked people to post on UserVoice, did you go look at the responses?

    Overwhelmingly consistent sentiment that not being able to send as attachment or given the option to do so, was a boneheaded mistake.

    Now What?

    Is MS addressing the issue and correcting it?
