Image links broken in Gmail because of google's Image proxy

Question

Image links in gmail are broken because of google\'s Image proxy (news1,news2). I can\'t load my site\'s images in gmail.

Actual image path is: http://sampleimageurl.

Answer 1

Two things that might help:

1. Use traditional image formats like .jpg, .png, .gif (formats like svg do not always work)
2. Make sure there are no spaces or strange characters in the image path (Check your server request logs. If it gives a 404 to google it is probably a link format issue.)
