Email Embed Image

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to really embed an image in a HTML email? I need that the image always appear, despite the receivers desire!

Outlook, gmail or other should not block that image.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you.

Of course there is no way to do this. You can not control the behavior of another program. There are standards and even if you manage this by finding a bug of that program, this is called hacking and is illegal.

Ok, I already found a way to do it...

What I needed wasn't a way to hack any program, find a bug or anything like that.

There is a way to "write" the image in the HTML so it wont be an attachment, and I already found a way to do it.

I didnt keep the link to show you, sorry.

Hmm.. But even if you embed the image into the email, the email client still have the power to not to show the image to the user. Because if it shows the image to the user, then that means the user's ip address is already being sent to the server holding the image. That was what i mean. For privacy reasons, this is not acceptable and i dont think those wel known clients miss such a thing. At least i know that Outlook and Gmail protect users from this.
