My Mail application has started doing something strange: When I copy a
JPEG to paste it into an outgoing email, Mail is converting it to a
TIFF. How do I make it stop? I've checked the Preferences, but there's
nothing there that seems to apply.
Mail 3.6
OS X 10.5.8
Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 (MDD)

Rather than using copy/paste operation you should drag & drop to JPEG
file into the email; or use the attachment button to select the JPEG
file as an attachment to the email.
