HTML in email?
Link | by MiCHiYo μ on 2006-11-22 04:59:54 (edited 2006-11-22 05:00:22)
hi everyone!

currently, i'm trying to plug in pictures and other kinds of text into an email
without the need of attaching it in order to save time to the recipient. i can't
seem to figure it out, no matter how much searching i did. i even tried to edit
already sent email to me with html embed, but it's not working... is there a way
to put html in an email without the need of attaching? if so, how do we do this?

i hope someone can help me out! it's quite important. XD

thankies~!

HTML email is very dangerous


HTML email jocking is very dangerous so please dont try.it may affected to your PC there are 7 reasons why HTML email is a bad thing?
1. HTML e-mail is dangerous
Nearly all viruses are transmitted by email. Both plain text and HTML mail may carry malware attachments but with HTML there is a significantly greater risk since some malware can exploit vulnerabilities in the HTML parser to automatically execute code as soon as the message is viewed in the preview pane (i.e. without the attachment having to be 'opened'.)

2. HTML e-mail wastes bandwidth
Look at the source code of any HTML message and after the headers you'll see the message body is duplicated, once in plain text and once in HTML. So most HTML messages are at least twice as big as plain text only, and they can be many time larger.

3. HTML e-mail doesn't always work
Some popular e-mail readers (e.g. Pegasus) simply don't read HTML mail, others (Pocomail and even AOL) have difficulties displaying it properly.

4. HTML e-mail can connect to the internet by itself
If you're off-line, opening an HTML email cantaining images may (by default) open a connection to the internet.

5. HTML e-mail renders slowly
Some mail apps (e.g. Outlook) can slow down considerably when rendering HTML. The need for an HTML parser has also led to code-bloat in email apps generally.

6. HTML e-mail is not always reader-friendly
HTML allows the sender to use unreadably small or non-standard fonts, clashing colours, badly formatted images and sometimes there is no quick or easy way for the reader to adjust the appearance to THEIR choice.

7. Digested lists hate HTML mail
Subscriber lists, particularly those with a digest, discourage and sometimes block HTML (since it appears in the digest as a mess of code).

What to do...

Sending HTML-formatted email is just not necessary. If the appearance of your message is important either put it on a website and mail the URL, or save it as an .rtf (or even a .pdf) document, zip that up and send it as an attachment to a plain text mail

So.. check in your email client's options for how to set 'Mail Sending Format' to 'Plain Text'...

...and how to turn OFF 'Reply to messages in the format in which they were sent'.

With these settings you will still be able to send images and other attachments. And images attached to plain text mail will be displayed by most popular email clients.

I asked around... my friend said that Mozilla Thunderbird (Mozilla's counterpart of Microsoft Outlook) could handle that... if you're doing this via Email Client

It is the same company as Firefox (Mozilla Firefox), so it is a really good program. Try it!

Mozilla Website

... I don't care...

Here's the first question:
What email program/website are you currently using?
