I have recently setup a new PC running ME.

I thought at one time I had the old PC/installation to send email notifications with images attached.

I have successfully gotten the new install to send emails, but so, far the attached images has eluded me.

What am I missing? I've looked at the github issue/s but, at least the one I found, didn't have a final solution. Pointers on further reading appreciated or if there is "do this" answer I'll run with that as well.

Regards,
Mac

Strange. Are you using a gmail app password? I can confirm the same issue with 
motionEye 0.42.1
motion 4.3.2 
on Debian 10
using App Password connecting to gmail. It sends the email, but without the attachment, no matter how long I select for.
Will be researching...

When you do a test email button, do you get 'success' or an error?

The emails, and now the images, do work. It's just the test button the gets the fail notice.
