Hey guys I am trying to create an HTML newsletter to email to my subscribers and I know that most email programs block remote images in emails and just leave a big ugly blank where the image should be so to avoid this isn't there a way to imbed the image in the code or email or something like that?

Remember that I'm not a programmer, just a guy with a basic FrontPage skills. I know how to link to the image but when I send the newsletter to myself, my own email program blocks the remote image so I know that others will too. If there is a better way to get around this please share that too.

Thanks in advance!!

The only suggestion I have is to send it as a word attachment - not very helpful I know, sorry. Maybe some one else has another idea.

Put a small note at the top notifying your users that images may have been blocked by their e-mail reader. Then say something like, if you're still having problems reading this newsletter, you can view it online (link to an online version of the newsletter)

Hmm... So I take it there is no way to imbed the image? The linking to an online version is helpful but I would still prefer to have the image display in the message. Most people probably won't bother to open an attachment or click a link.

In some of the newsletters that I get some images are displayed and some arent and I'm wondering how they got the ones to display. Are they a different type of graphic or something?

Maybe plain text is the way to go, or at least HTML without images.

Minaki's suggestion is right on target.

You could also convert your message to a Word or PDF doc and attach it to your message for those who find the images blocked, or you could even attach the HTML file itself so that when users open it on their machines in their browser your images will not be blocked.

You could send a multipart MIME message, and make the <img> tag point to an attachment:
Set the Content-ID header for the part containing the image attachment, then use

<img src="cid:CID_GOES_HERE" />

to display it inline (more info here).

This does, of course, still require an HTML email client, but the image should not get blocked (as it is not located on a third party server, but the recipient's computer).
