html-email

I've searched the web on this and I can find two solutions: Use a URL-shortner. Use brackets < > to allow insertion of whitespace. This only applies to plain-text emails. I'm sending HTML emails that contains sensitive information, like password recovery links and auto-authentication links. These secure links are, by their nature, quite long. Easily longer than 70 characters or whatever arbitrary limit is imposed on e-mail bodies. Obviously I can't use any form of URL-shortning because it would circumvent any secure cryptography technique I've used for the links. I suppose the largest issue is

I wish to send an email, with a plain text and html version. The email needs an image to go with it (not one I can host somewhere else), it should be embedded if the client views it in html, and attached for the plain text view. Is this possible to do that would work in all common clients? The closest I have come is creating the image as an attachment (rather than a linked resource) then referencing it in the html with cid:filename.jpg. However this doesn't work in gmail (it doesn't display the image in the html). This code snippet works in outlook 2010 and gmail. I test the plain text email

I'm using the PHP native mail() function to send HTML emails and have a formatting problem in the users most common email client - Outlook 2007 ( in addition to some other email clients ) - all the html tags are exposed so it looks like gibberish to a non-web-developer. I'm sending HTML email the same way that the PHP manual demos it. Example: $message = get_HTML_email_with_valid_formatting(); $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\r\n"; $headers .= "From: example.com <info@example.com>\r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: donotreply@example.com\r\n";

We have a Winforms application which supports dragging and dropping chunks of HTML into Outlook (HTML) mail messages. Chunks of text are fine. But how do we proceed with images? Let's assume we don't want to host the images online but instead we want to send them with the email message. Assume also that we do want to see the image inline, not as an attachment (where the recipient's email client supports that, of course). If you look at the HTML source of an Outlook message there are "cid" tags for images (which point to the image as an attachment I guess), but how do we go about generating a

Can anybody advise me on this? WebKit browsers keeps on putting a gray 1px border around disabled images. The reason I need this removed is for email optimization for when email clients have images disabled. Works fine in Firefox, but WebKit browsers keep showing the border. I have tried border:none !important everywhere including inline, but Chrome/Safari are being stubborn. Edit: Here is sample html with inline css <img style="outline:none;text-decoration:none;display:block;border:none;-webkit-border:0;" border="0" src="images/rm_bnk.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="test" /> Saeed Alipoor

An HTML email must (should) have its CSS inlined in order to have the expected design in most of the email clients. Is there a way to link a Google Web Font to or embed in such an email but still maintain a broad acceptance (appropriate rendering) among email clients? I know that an alternative would be to have an image with the corresponding typography, but I would first search for something else that might work. If the font is absolutely necessary, you will have to go with the text as image solution. As of December, only iOS Mail, Mail.app, Lotus Notes 8, default Mail on Android, Outlook

I have done a good amount of research and have found several "solutions" such as the static maps API and simply sending a link to a Gmap. However is there really no way to actually send someone a Google Map? Neil McGuigan Well your own research shows that most mail clients don't do iFrames, so what do you think can be done? This is on purpose by the way. iFrames and JavaScript are security risks that mail services don't want to deal with. Your best bet is to get a static image of the map and embed it as an image in an HTML email. Put a hyperlink on it to the "full" map on Google Maps. To do

I'm taking over from someone who builds our HTML emails and the templates are filled with font tags. Is this really necessary? I know CSS support isn't great in emails, but if I set an inline style for text on the container <td> like this... <td style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;color:#555555;font-size:12px"> ...then surely this will work across the majority of email clients. From the tests I've performed this seems to be the case, and this article seems to confirm this. Anyone have any input as to whether <font> tags are really necessary in HTML emails?
