Ok well I have been taking care of a couple different email blasts. Making them in dreamweaver. Someone told me that some of the email blasts (from other companies) when they open the email the images are all visable and loaded. The email looks great. But when he receives an email from our company he has to click “load images” or something of that sort. I guess there must be some different way of embedding an image into a HTML email to get this result? Anyone have any idea??
you can’t ; it’s a security issue tell your friend the reason why it is showing him images is because he probably put that company’s domain on a safe list and saved the preferences…
that’s all
there is a simple test for this just my simple sending email test blast to different domains and adding their domain to the safe list or checking the options
hope this helps
hey thanks for the input, can you expound on
“there is a simple test for this just my simple sending email test blast to different domains and adding their domain to the safe list or checking the options”
Im not trackin with yah. Thanks!
You actually can do this quite easily. The way you do this is by embedding remote images, not sending the images; often times they will come out as attachments. Make sense? Upload the images to a server, and make all of your image links absolute paths to the images on the server.

If you want to make your boss happy tell him its just a security issue and the only way to get around it is to make an expensive presentation to show users how to lower their settings or add your domain name to their email
Or go cheap and easy and make a FAQ section on the site and link it in the email

All my images are embedded…When you say absolout path you mean like
www.mywebsite/images/emailimages/something.jpg
You mean like that? Our mail list provider is the one that stores oure images…heres a link to one of our actual images…

Thats an absolute path right? So it should work…but it still requires me to click display images.

ok thanks for the info! i read that page, seems relivant, I may have him look over that page. The problem that I keep running into is…he says that some emails do it and some dont! If they all did I could just say…thats a security issue! But he sees this as something that we aren’t doing as well as other companies! hrmm 
or you can just pre-subscribe him to random newsletters and then ask him to check his email… that should end it
I mean unless you are entry-level he/she should trust your valued informed opinion:asleep:
