Re: FN-FORUM: html emails

date posted 3rd January 2004 13:17

there are 2 methods - either embedding the graphics within the email, or
using remote images.

embedding the graphics is a trade off between size and being able to
view the graphics offline and the email not needing to download them
again. also the email client may not be able to view the embedded
images, iirc its mainly an outlook/outlook express thing.

for success rates, well the best way to do that is to have an image tag
linked to a remote script with either the email address or a unique ID
passed as a querystring.

something like this:

and shim.asp would be this:



now as for creating them - well depends on the tech you're using, i have
a PHP script that does the embedded emails if you want it?
