Hi, Bruce,
There are three primary ways to insert photos into our posts; insert (which will place the photo in the body of the text); attach (which will attach it to the email and require that you click on it to open the photo; and link (which will provide a link to the photo on a hosting service set up and maintained by the poster.)? It may be that John and other posters are using different methods, resulting in you receiving a link.
Alternatively, there is a setting in Groups.io that will automatically convert any photo to a link if the photo is larger than your set limit.? (See below.)? You can change this setting in the Subscription, Advanced section.? I hope this helps.
