TheSealStartedItEmails are hard
Itβs a german company. Be glad you are offered e-mails at all. The official german communication medium to this day is FAX.
because it works, even in a crowdstike
Carighan MaconarDid the fax go down from CrowdStrike? No. The superior communication medium!
Andromxda πΊπ¦π΅πΈπΉπΌFax? I ainβt using that modern bullshit. I will be writing letters, just like in the good olβ days.
My HR told me I could no longer email bills, but instead had to give them the original paper. Iβm afraid somebody there will have a heart attack when I tell them that that PDF file is the original.
netvorhehe, FAX sounds like TCP ACK but waaay more rude.
Stupid people shouldnβt be permitted to use computers.

Its about a device with touch interface as laggy as those old ass android phones with funky fonts.
I hate every second of interaction with this smart pot.
Is it possible to put images in an email without them showing up like this?
yeah it uses this really neat semantic rendering programming language for serving structured documents across servers
Itβs a bit tricky, but anyone with at least a Masters in CompSci should be able to parse some of it enough to get the gist. It goes like this
<img src="FILENAME" />I feel like the level of snark in your reply isβ¦ High. It doesnβt make for a pleasant interaction, and it doesnβt help make lemmy a nice place to be.
So, if the image you want to put into your email is not hosted somewhere, whatβs the best way to go about this, ensuring compatibility?
I donβt think itβs really directed at you and moreso about making fun of the company who didnβt put in any effort to make it show up correctly.
Iβm just being a silly billy itβs not directed at you.
Itβs more like βah if only there was a simple solution that couldβve been used.β
All images are hosted somewhere, I would consider an intern fresh out of college know how to correctly add an image to an email, or at least only be told once if somehow they had never seen this before.
You can have inline images that are only shown as part of the rendered HTML. Donβt ask me how, but youβll find some examples in your inbox.

You can base64-encode the image file. Itβs super-jank, but it works, even in Outlook.
Dave.Let me know if I can explain it more clearly.
Multi-part MIME containing inline images is actually what youβre looking for and itβs fairly easy to implement.
Hereβs an example. They handwave over the html section that actually refers to the inline images that they embed, but thatβs the basic layout you need.
Emails are surprisingly hard to format, actually. If you want to use modern HTML, anyway.
No itβs not. Its just hard if they need to work in Outlook, which uses a Word Processor instead of an HTML rendering engine like any other sane email client.
Itβs wonderful for you that you live in a world where people use something else than Outlook to read email at work.
I use mjml.io for HTML emails, highly recommend it if you dontt want to deal with Outlookβs bullshit.
Thank you kindly for the link. Iβll have to see what this brings to the table, but itβs always nice to have options!
This one goes right to the feels. Iβve got pretty good experience with using SSR components to generate static html with components. Iβm currently using dotnet and blazor where I can make email components like a fucking button as easy as that might sound.
yogurtwrongIkea email. You get the parts and assemble it yourself
