Shal,
Thanks for the feedback.
I think I am going to give up for now as there isn't much point in harassing Support if I can't reproduce it. Against my better judgment, I did unleash IE11 on my computer, and tried adding a Picture and adding an Attachment and both worked fine with no issues.
My somewhat terse comment "The group does not resize photos" meant that both "Max Size in Photos Section" and "Max size in emails" is set to "No resizing". For what it's worth, same "No Resizing" for databases and wiki. The group is also only up to 200 MB for files, photos and attachments.

That's an odd one. Maybe something for [email protected], or maybe it is
an IE bug. The renaming seems like some kind of default name, as if
something couldn't handle the long file name. I'd nominate IE for that
kind of bug. Especially since you couldn't reproduce it.

For embedded photos (such as via Add Pictures on the group's pages) my
understanding is that there's an automatic resizing to 640 x 640 max;
the group setting "Max Size in Email", if larger than that, is only
applied to attached image files.
