Actually, the 'Windows friendly' option still often results in photos that appear inline and don't appear as attachments. The answer I've found is to make sure the message is sent as plain text rather than rich text.

True, but that in turn destroys any formatting I've included (no, I don't want to start an argument re plain text vs. rich text/HTML in e-mails!) and need to retain.

Another workaround is to zip up the attachments before sending, but the real solution is for Apple to get it right.
