Disappearing photos

[Eli Kaufmann]

Hell all,

 

Whenever I forward a message or reply to one with photos in the body of the message, the forwarded message is blank.

 

WHY????

This has been happening to me lately when forwarding any mails with
attachments.
Maybe a system-wide problem?

I'm sure you know this, but in case .... you MUST be in Rich
formatting mode BEFORE you try to forward a mail that has embedded
images. Otherwise they will be stripped out.
Another thing to try: set up your e-mail session when NOT using https
- it may be that this method is too slow to include the images.

From Iris (Google employee)
To those of you who are experiencing problems displaying images since
the recent Gmail switch to default HTTPS where you are defaulted to
signing in at https://mail.google.com, we've looked into your reports
and have found that many of the cases may be related to your browsers'
settings and display of images.

With the change to using HTTPS by default, your connection to Gmail is
encrypted through HTTPS. However, some messages you may receive, such
as ads and newsletters, may contain images that aren't sent via HTTPS,
and instead via HTTP.

Browsers like Internet Explorer, will warn you with a pop-up
indicating that you may be trying to access content that is being sent
through HTTP while you connected to Gmail via HTTPS. This is why
enabling the displays of mixed content for Internet Explorer helped
some of you. However, please be cautious whenever enabling the
displays of HTTP content, as some sites may have risky or malicious
content that the browser setting is trying to protect you from.

Browsers like Firefox and Google Chrome may default to not showing you
a pop-up in these cases, but may put a warning icon at the top or
bottom of your browser window as a notification of the non-HTTPS
content that the site may contain (look for a lock or exclamation
point icon).

If you don't feel comfortable showing mixed content, you can disable
it from being displayed, but this may impair the display of your Gmail
images, along with images on other sites. We recommend utilizing your
browser's prompts to let you decide on showing messages with both HTTP
and HTTPS content. In Internet Explorer, you can adjust the settings
by: accessing IE's 'Tools' menu > 'Internet Options' > 'Security' tab
> 'Custom level' > 'Display mixed content' section > 'Prompt' radio
button so you can make the choice on a case by case basis. Next time
IE pops up the warning about mixed content, you can choose whether or
not you want the content that wasn't delivered via HTTP to be
displayed.

Note that if you choose to not display images sent via HTTP, this will
override the 'Always display images from this sender' setting because
it is honoring the setting you've chosen for the site/browser.

Gmail made the change to using HTTPS by default because we wanted to
help our users stay safe and secure. However, we do realize that the
change many have caused issues for some, but want to make sure you're
aware of workarounds that can help you make sure images are displayed
and you are using your Gmail as you were.

Thanks,
Iris

Hi John

When forwarding a message with rich (HTML) formatting, one is
automatically put into the 'Rich formatting' editor. Attempting to
select 'Plain text' will result in an alert warning one of losing
formatting etc.

The long message you included from Iris is about mixed content, ie.
using Gmail in HTTPS mode and viewing an email containing content
fetched from a normal HTTP source (eg. newsletters).
This has nothing to do with losing images or other attachments when
forwarding email. I also don't know what you mean by HTTPS being 'too

slow' to include the images.

Cheers

in addition, one should consider going to their SETTINGS and make the
choice about https and http...
IF a gmail is being forwarded to another gmail, it is important that
the Originating gmail also be reviewed and changed as the user
considers appropriate...

I'm sorry but your email makes no sense, nor is it relevant to the
original problem.

It was a bit helpful. The second bit might not apply (about the other
account), but he was pointing out that if your Gmail account is set to
always use HTTPS (on the main settings page), then you'll have to
switch that to try the workaround of using plain http.
