When sending to other Outlook users these will display as images and not show as attachments, however, when you send to other email programs such as Hotmail, Gmail or an iPhone, the images will show up as file attachments. When you paste images into an Outlook email, or use Outlook’s insert picture command, the image is actually embedded into the email as a file attachment. The latest version for the app is 17.8013.42367.0, in case you are wondering.If the images you place into a PoliteMail message are getting delivered as files attachments, or your emails (file size) are too large and are taking too long to send, Outlook may be automatically embedding all images.

It seems like the update is available for the Fast Ring and the Slow Ring. The new update is only available for Windows Insiders at the moment.

The feature is obviously enabled by default as a lot of users seem to like the new feature, but if you don’t want to see sender pictures in the message list, simply open the app’s settings. Today, the company is rolling out a new update to the app that adds a neat toggle which will let you remove the sender pictures or contact icons from the message list in case you don’t like them. Microsoft recently added colorful contact icons to the Outlook Mail and Calendar app in Windows 10 for those in the Insider program.
