Why are PDF and Image Files embedded in all sent mail messages?

When sending mail with either PDF or Image Files as attachments, the person receiving the message does get the attachment, but the files are also embedded in the mail message. This will display the image file below my text, however with a PDF, it's just trying to display as an image but is just lots of garbled characters. Word docs are not embedded, just attached. Any ideas how to prevent this? I'm attaching files by using the attach button and browsing for the file like normal. Thanks!
