  email to blog and photos do not show up. It works with my pc, but not from my macbook pro. I can email from one email account to another with my mac and the photos come out. But if I send an email from my mac to the blog, the photos do not show up. I’m not even sure if the body of the text shows up. I know the subject line shows up. I use outlook. Is there problems with accepting emails from macs on the blogsite? Please help, as we travel with an rv company and will be traveling for the next 6 months and I blog our travels.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  thank you. I sure would appreciate assistance. I just looked back and I think the only thing appear is the subject line from the email. I don’t think anything in the body of the message shows, text or photos.

  The last one that is on there called “Hillbilly Hotdog” was the first attempt. I finally emailed it from my pc and it works as always. I then went back to my macbookpro and tried a test 3 different times and each time, it only listed the subj. line.

  THe one from your Mac came through with a bunch of junk characters in the email. Usually, I expect this from a PC to be honet.

  Which email client were you using?

  macmanx,
  Please help. I started another blog called “civilwar2013” and the same thing. If I email from the macbook pro, only the heading comes out. if I email from my pc, all of the text comes out fine. Why is the mac not working? I’m using outlook on both computers.

  Outlook for Mac is a bit temperamental and outdated. Do you have any luck with Apple’s default Mail app?
