Image in an HTML e-mail

If you're willing to serve the image off your own web server, then sure:

Note that some people don't have HTML-aware browsers, and worse, some people when they forward messages will prepend each line with ">", which totally destroys the HTML code. If you have important visual information to pass along, I'd suggest either 1. sending a link to an HTML page on your website or 2. sending a PDF file.

Good luck.

Yes - sort of.

The trick is that BOTH email clients must support this.

For example if you send me such an email to my personal email address, no problem. It will look pretty much as you sent it. But if you send this to me at my day job, where my email client does not support any form of rich content, then what I receive looks awful.

General comment: Therefore do not count on the recipient's email client capabilities. This is especially true of promotional communications, etc.

If look and feel are important, create your content in something like PDF. Almost everybody has, or can get, Acrobat Reader.

Or, stick with plain text messages.

Hello Jay and eBob,

Thanks for your answers.

I specifically gave example of a word document that 'includes' an image independent of any link / server. It is always there.
I am still not clear how we can do it in an html e-mail.
What happensif my server is down?

The problem here is not whether both the clients support it. The problem, in the first place, is how I can include it so that the image is always there in the message.

Again, if you create something like pdf (any other options?), how to 'include' it so that it is always there?
