I've been successfully taking screen shots by pressing Shift, Command, 4 and then dragging to capture a specific area and then they go to my desk top. However, all of a sudden they become an email. Does anyone know how to stop this?

For many years I've been successfully taking screen shots by pressing Shift, Command, 4 and then dragging to capture a specific area which then goes to my desk top. However, all of a sudden they become an email. Does anyone know how to stop this?
