Why MAC email images come embedded to us PC folks here at KD:
Hi All,
With some of you, we have the problem of your images coming embedded in the email.
Branda helped us with this mystery. I asked her how she had sent one email with the design embedded but the next email - the art was attached.
Branda wrote:
The
first one was sent from the mail program on my Mac. The second email, I logged
into my gmail account and attached them that way.
From
what I just learned (by googling) it's not possible to simply attach a file
from the Mac email program--the files are always embedded. Sounds like a
classic war between Apple and Microsoft! Ha!

Thank you Branda!!

Email Promotion that went out on 1/4/2013 & Christmas Promotion that didn't go out (sigh):
And this is a design we produced for Christmas but it didn't get to be sent due to email server problems right before Christmas:

Smart Idea - Keys by the bed...
Julianna (a KD consulting designer) sent me this via email. Worth sharing.
Subject: great idea!!!
PUT YOUR CAR KEYS BESIDE
YOUR BED AT NIGHT
Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your sisters, everyone you run across. Put your car keys beside your bed at night.
If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.
This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage.
If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around. After a few seconds, all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.
Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone.
