html email to gmail accounts
kozaitis
I've created an html email for a work project I have. It's real simple.
One jpeg that is one big link. You click on it anywhere it refers you
to a webpage. I've sent this link to many different email browsers, and
the only place it won't show up is in my gmail. For instance, I open
the message, and I get one of those little blue boxes with a question
mark. Is there a max size for gmail re: jpegs? Wondering why gmail
won't display it. I've sent the test to many different gmail users. All
say the same thing: no image. Link works, but no image.
help?

As a rule, cross posting is considered incorrect. You all ready
posted this message to: GMu...@googlegroups.com at the same
time as you posted it to this forum. That is uncalled for.
Several members of these Google mailing lists (forums) are
subscribed to more than on list. It is conceivable that someone
will notice your post and reply to it, as I did on the
previously mentioned forum.
Now, if your message does not elicit any response in a reasonable
amount of time, then it is acceptable to post it into a new
forum.

Just click on the link " Display images from <sen...@domai.com>"
which will appear in the right top corner of your mail.
I am not facing this problem,
Thanks,

what's unusual is that it appears in my thunderbird, my mac mail, yahoo accounts, and other email browsers. the only place it will not appear is in gmail.
even the display image option does not prevent this from happening. it still appears like a broken link, but it's not. is there a width or height limit in gmail?
Is the image more than 10 MB. If so Gmail won't support it.

on the job, and we FINALLY figured it out today after 3 days of
wracking our brains. The html emailer that they built for me has an
option of giving the jpeg image an published name, e.g., alt name.
Well, I put a space in the name. For instance, I gave it a name, Save
the Date, and it wasn't appearing. But, once we changed it to
SavetheDate, VIOLA!, it appeared. So, for all you out there, please
keep this in mind. This literally drove me crazy for nearly 7 days and
I mean for 168 straight hours. I was staying up at night!!!

account. I included an image tag, <img src="some.jpg" alt="alt text">
and it displayed the 'alt text' just fine until I let Gmail show the
image. I also tried with the title attribute, and it accepted spaces
as well.
My theory: could it be a problem in your html emailer? Perhaps it
doesn't parse the HTML properly by not expecting spaces in the
attributes. Try the following: In Gmail, open an email that was sent
with a broken image, click on "More options", then "Show original".
Check for any mistakes in the HTML. It could be that Gmail is less
forgiving than other webmails when parsing bad HTML.

Hope this is not too off-topic:
For what i had try, gmail composer doesn't convert bbcode or html code.
Did u compose the message with an email client? .
Thanks,
