".jpeg" file in web page does not appear in email

[tennisgal]

I developed a newsletter web page in Front Page (v. 2002) and inserted a
..jpeg file in the body. My goal is to send this newsletter to clients via
email. when I sent a test email, the .jpeg file did not appear. All that is
visible in that spot is a black outline with a little red "x" in the upper
left corner.

Any suggestions?

Any images you want to include in an HTML email need to be uploaded to a web
server, and the references in the HTML email need to point to those images.
In other words, say this is part of your email newsletter:

<p>Here's a photo of Fred. </p>
<img src=http://www.yourdomain.com/images/fred.jpg width="110" height="124">

The file "fred.jpg" needs to be uploaded to the "images" directory at
www.yourdomain.com.

When someone opens your email in their email program, the HTML is displayed,
along with the images, which are called from the remote server.

Hope that helps?

you have to host the image on a web server and put the URL to it - they are
not embedded images in the html email. (i.e. they don't get sent with the
message).

But, OE must do it differently I guess? I've often wondered about this.

There's nothing about OE that changes the need to store the images on a
server and use absolute paths - if that's what you mean (not sure).

The trick is to compose in OE set to compose in html mode.
If you have OE set to compose in html, and if you include images that are on your machine, when you
send the email OE embeds the images in the email in binary format.

But you wouldn't want to send a mail blast with embedded images, would
you? I'm sure my ISP would pull the plug on me for doing something like
that.

Right, and the recipients would be pretty unhappy too. =)

Why not, it's a very common practice and is what OE was designed to do when used in html format.
It's been a part of OE since day 1.

When the email is received, it is added to your inbox and then when you click the subject line to
read it, OE automatically extracts the images.

There's nothing sinister in doing it, and your ISP doesn't care one way or another. To them it's
just "another email."

However, if the person receiving the email doesn't have OE set to open in html format, the image
won't show.

It's "just another email" with a huge file size, and they would very likely
care. Recipients often care as well.

ISP/s can impose message file sizes or other restrictions, as well as the number of recipient email
addresses associated with a message.

I never blast anyone. I send to people that signed up for Alumni updates -
about 1 every quarter.

That term ("blast") just means a broadcast email, sent to a number of
people, even if they want it - you weren't being accused of spamming. The
issue is that emails with embedded images are heavy in file size, and that
it's much better to call the images from a remote server (and very simple to
do).

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Also HTML emails can contain anything (good and bad) that can be included in a HTML page.

What P@tty said. Here are some images I've done for actual mail
blasts. Once approved by the client, they are sliced and added to an HTL
page on the server to which the email links.

make sure you have the full url to the image; and that the image is hosted
on a web server - the email does *not* send the pic with (or embed it in)
the html file - it is merely linked like with any web page via a <img src>
tag.

 

[Andrew Murray]

or even simpler; send out a text email with a link to your web
page/newsletter.
then everyone (those without html email readers included) can read your
news.
