question for the tekkies

[Dr. Martin Gooter Bling]

say when somebody sends me an e-mail with 5 pictures, I'll see the 5 pictures no problem.
but whenever I reply to the e-mail the 5 pictures are replaced by 5 duplicates of the first picture.
4 of the pictures are now gone and I can't see them anymore.
anybody know how I can unfuck the situation without having to ask the person to send the pictures again.

Im afraid its all a load of bollocks doc

[Dr. Martin Gooter Bling]

it certainly is. I can't make head nor jaysus of it.

Maybe download the photos in to your photo album and when replying just attach them to the new mail.

[Dr. Martin Gooter Bling]

it's when I reply to the e-mail that has 5 pictures, those 5 pictures for some reason turn in to 5 duplicates of the first picture and I lose the other 4.
I would have to download each of them to keep them but I should'nt have to.
I can't see what the purpose is of what's happening.
After you reply to the e-mail it's too late and they're gone.

I use Gmail,never have any such problems....maybe it's something to do with the copyright of those photos of the four east euro burds from Escorts Irl!!

[Dr. Martin Gooter Bling]

I use g-mail aswell.
it's 5 photos that a pal sent me. no copyright malarkey.
it always happens when I reply to a message that has photos.
if i'm sent 10 different photos, after I reply I'll have 10 duplicate pictures of the first one and the other 9 are gone for good.

5 ladyboys?.....then it is all a load of bollox!!

[Shallowhal]

Is your computer powerfull enough .It might not have the processor to send big files so auto edits them .Try in future to save the photos to gallery or a file then send them individually as an attachment .

This probably isn't very helpful but I'd just WhatsApp the photos.Email isn't really a great medium for what you're doing.

[Dr. Martin Gooter Bling]

no I'm on the blower.
I was thinking it might be a data storage problem, for example pictures take up loadsa space. But I've loadsa storage space on the phone.

[mercenary for hire]

I asked the other half and apparently there is a limit on file sizes on emails.So you can make the quality lower or send multiple emails.Also you can link a Google drive account somehow but that is probably too much hassle.

All these new cameras are taking massively bigger and more detailed photos compared to cameras of twenty years ago.

[Dr. Martin Gooter Bling]

I know that.
sometimes I've tried to attach say 4 photos and it'll only let me send 3 because there's a lotta space involved.
but I already received the 5 jaysus photos no problem that I was sent.
it's when I reply to the e-mail the 5 different photos are transformed in to 5 pictures of the first picture.
