I often use inline images in my e-mails, but this often results in very large e-mail sizes that can quickly fill up hard drive space for my recipients.
If I host the image online, I can link to it without including the image data in the e-mail, but then recipients have to click on the link to see the image.
Is there a way to embed an inline image such that the image data is fetched from the internet when my recipient opens the e-mail?
I found out that since Microsoft Office uses a WYSIWYG editor, any html that I try to put in my e-mails is converted to straight text. The help file suggests that I use Microsoft Sharepoint Designer or some other editor. – Paul Williams – 2009-10-06T15:56:23.547
It actually turns out that Microsoft Office 2007 broke most html functionality by using Microsoft Word's rendering engine instead of Internet Explorer's. Even if I embed images in this way, it appears that they do not work when loaded in Outlook. – Paul Williams – 2009-10-06T18:39:06.277
so you have to use WYSIWYG either way? – John T – 2009-10-06T18:54:22.377
It sounds like in the latest version, you have to use the WYSIWYG editor (because they removed the source editor) and that anyone who receives an html e-mail in the latest Outlook will probably have display problems with it. – Paul Williams – 2009-10-08T05:59:11.780
