Why can't I attach a photo to an email anymore?

[iMore Question]

Since I've had Iphone7 I can't ATTACH a photo from my photos (on the phone) to an email I'm sending from my phone. It appears it wants to link to ICloud in order to do an attachment. I do not use Icloud. Why did this change. It will only EMBED a photo. This is extremely, extremely frustrating when trying to send quick pics taken from the phone.
