How do I send an attachment (photo) without it inserting itself into the body of the email?
Under attach, I selected file and then selected a photo. It appeared as an attachment outgoing, however, it was received inserted in the body of the email. Thank you in advance.

I think this depends on the recipient's mail client. Thunderbird, for instance, when used to view a received message with a picture attachment, will display the picture appended to the message. To a casual glance it would appear to be embedded into the message.
Send your messages using plain text (not HTML) and images cannot be embedded. If they appear to be embedded then it's the recipient's mail client to blame and therefore beyond your control.
You could zip your pictures to force them to be processed as attachments at the receiving end. ;-)

Thunderbird has an option under the View menu to Display Attachments Inline. If this is checked it will make the attachments do what you are saying, but as stated above this is an option for the receiving party and not the sender. It would be up to the receiving party to know how to work their client and make this not happen.
