By default Mail will display small pdfs and images (one or two pages)  
inline in the message, you can control-click (or right click) on the  
displayed attachment and choose "view as icon" - but this setting  
doesn't seem to stick.

A third party plugin that controls this is in a better way is:

<http://lokisw.com/index.php?lang=en&item=MailAttachmentsIconizer>

(ignore < and >'s)

Gives you a toolbar button to choose how you like it displayed.

This won't change the display at the other end - individual users  
need to set their own viewing preferences.

Hope that helps.



PS:  If anyone is in Wellington - we (the WelMac Social Subcommittee)  
are holding a Meet and greet for people and their kids on Saturday in  
Wellington at Turnbull House.  The (young) kids get to watch a Pixar  
movie while the rest of us socialise over good coffee - and look over  
and get a "owner show and tell" about gadgets (phone, bluetooth, wifi  
etc) and machines members have brought in.

Date: 23rd September
Time: 15:00 - 17:00  (start screening about 15:30)
Venue: Turnbull House, Bowen Street, Wellington
Kids bring a cushion - popcorn and other essential movie viewing  
snacks will be supplied.
Parents and Grandparents (and all others!) bring you favourite mac  
related story, gadget or a plate (or just yourself!)
No cost.
