Bugs in Mac Mail

1. how do I separate multiple email addresses in TO: ? I use ; and space, but Mail gives error message, having read multiple addresses as one address!

2. when I COPY text and graphic from a Web page, and PASTE into an email, the graphic doesn't appear.

3. When I insert a photo into a new email, it appears sideways!

4.. When I open ADDRESS BOOK from "create new message" email addresses appear in the NAME column as well as in the ADDRESS column. Yet, in ADDRESS BOOK, in the file card format, both NAME and Email ADDRESS appear.

thanks

These are not bugs. The problem is that you are not familiar with Mail or your other software.

1. how do I separate multiple email addresses in TO: ? I use ; and space, but Mail gives error message, having read multiple addresses as one address!
If you type previously used addresses, then Mail will autocomplete the address and you won't have to explicitly use any separator.

2. when I COPY text and graphic from a Web page, and PASTE into an email, the graphic doesn't appear.
Read-up on HTML mail and how to compose it in Mail.

3. When I insert a photo into a new email, it appears sideways!
I'm betting your photo was autorotated. Autorotation is a display function, not an editing function. Your autorotated pictures maintain their as-photographed orientation. Before using a photograph is an app that doesn't understand autorotation, you must manually rotate the image.

4.. When I open ADDRESS BOOK from "create new message" email addresses appear in the NAME column as well as in the ADDRESS column. Yet, in ADDRESS BOOK, in the file card format, both NAME and Email ADDRESS appear.
I'm not getting you. Address Book does not display names and addresses in columns. You have a Group list>Name list>Contact info for the selected name.
 
You are using Mail... it doesn't behave like Outlook.

The name appears in the new mail because you have the email address saved in your addressbook. If you click on the small arrow on the right end of that name, you can see what address it has.

Use "," instead of outlookish ";" as separator.

The graphics don't appear in text only messages any more than they would in any other mail client's text only messages...
