Gmail, drag and drop

I have been dragging and dropping jpgs into my emails forever

Suddenly, it looks as if it's attaching, but then it reverts to blank space.

What's the problem? And how can it be resolved?

I'm on a MacBook pro High Sierra 10.13.6

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13

Mac Mail 15.0 Problem with Insert Attachments at End Option Hi, On Monterey 12.1 (MBOOK Pro 2021 14" M1 Pro) Mac mail 15.0 I clicked this button ONCE to be able to make the attached items that I dragged into an email go to the bottom. I hated it and went back. Much to my surprise now it always goes to the bottom. So every time I send an email I have to click on "Insert Attachments to End" to turn it on and then click it again to turn it off to be able to insert the attachment where I want. On...every.....single.....email. What a nightmare. Is this a known problem? How can it be fixed? Thanks in advance for all the help.

Apple Mail - 'remove attachments' is greyed out I'm using Apple Mail (16.0) on a MacBook Air (M1) running Ventura 13.6. The option to 'remove attachments' under Message in Mail is permanently greyed out and trying to delete attachments results in the email being deleted. I sometimes get emails with quite large graphic attachments and purely to save space I would like to delete the attachment but retain the email. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Did this happen after the 2020-006 SecUpd?

Try reinstalling this in Safe Mode, but not using Firefox...

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup).

Seems to fix about 90% of the problems.
