As I wrote that comment I wondered: “does Windows still have that option in the context menu?” I’m rarely on Windows so can’t quickly check.
My memory says that it’s even an option when right-clicking an image on the web. I decided to ignore that memory - surely that can’t still be a thing! …Right?
Edit: oh crap, it’s actually an option on Firefox on Linux Mint. Damn, that’s crazy. Then it’s gotta be there on Windows too. Much easier to imagine it happening accidentally on the web than an image file on PC.
Just checked, it’s there on Firefox on Windows, too. Also, Windows itself has a “Send To…” item on the right click menu for images, and one of the options in the submenu below that is “Mail Recipient”. (Chrome has the possibly-even-more-useless “Generate QR code for this image” but I don’t see an “e-mail this image” option in Chrome on Windows.)
Happened to me previously several times. I find it crazy to even have this option in the context menu.
It’s up there with “Send image as email” which I suspect like 5 people have used in the last 20 years
3 of them accidentally.
