Embedding an image into Mail

How exactly do you embed images (.jpeg) into a mail message so that it does not come up as an attachment?
Gmail, outlook, yahoo mail, etc. all read attachments as an attachment that needs to be opened and only through Apple Mail can users see an attachment already opened (giving the appearance of an embedded image, but it's not).
Any help on embedding images into Apple Mail (besides through using the signature)?

I tried creating a Stationary but I am fairly new to Mail and am unfamiliar with creating it successfully. I create it, then it creates the Custom folder in which my stationary will not show up in the mail message. It will show up in the folder, I just am unable to get it to show up in the message. Is there a format to creating stationaries? Or perhaps a different way to embed images?

Pasting images into Mail results in a hypertext link, not the image itslef?

Hello
I'm posting on behalf of a friend. He tells me that when he copies an image (e.g., from within Safari) and pastes into the body of a Mail message, this results in a link not the image.
However, when I receive the message, I see the image in the body.
The question is, is there a way to have the image appear in the email message he's composing vs. a hyperlink?
N.B. when copying the image he is choosing "Copy Image" not "Copy Link"
Thanks

He could just drag-and-drop the image from Safari to his desktop, then drag-and-drop it to the email (or use Add Attachment). Or maybe he could just drag-and-drop it straight from Safari into a new email, without copy-and-pasting at all?

Embedding HTML images into output

Hi. My report produces html output that includes images. Later this html code is being send to Microsoft Exchange so end user can actually see the report in his mail box. But for this I need to make images not a reference to a file on the file system, but embed as part of HTML .
How can I do it?
Is it something that can be done programatically with Java

How do I import a jpeg image into my mail signature so that it wont separate when it gets to the receiving email

How do I import a jpg image into my mail signature box so that it wont separate into an attachment when it gets to the receiving mail box. We have a company logo and when I send it to someone it does not show up under our address but rather as an attachment. How do I keep this from happening?

Images pasted into mail from photoshop are drastically reduced in size.

At work, I am constantly sending previews of artwork through email. I CmdShiftC in Photoshop to copy merged (this essentially takes a screen shot of your current selection in a Photoshop document, then I Cmd+V to paste it into mail.
I have been doing this exact process for over a year now, it works every time, the images are pasted at actual size and are not modified in any way regardless of how huge they were.
This morning they suddenly started showing up as dinky, useless thumbnails.
There is no option in mail I can find to control this, and the multitude of other posts in this forum about the same complaint mention a little popup in the bottom right when you have an attached image. I do not have this popup, there is nothing in the bottom right of my window.
Why is this happening, and how do I fix it?

it's not a popup, it's a little scroll button. and you should be getting it when you attach images. however, in my experience, sometimes this button doesn't show up for whatever reason. the following method works for me when I run into this problem (which happens with some regularity btw). start a new blank outgoing message and attach an image to it. don't do it from photoshop. just drag some large image from finder to the message composition window. hopefully, the scroll button will show up. adjust it to "actual size" and close that message composition window. next time you attach an image to a measge it will use the same setting to display the image, i.e. 'actual size".
I do not have this popup, there is nothing in the bottom right of my window.

Anyway NOT to send images as an inline/embedded images with Mail

Hi, I would like to know is there anyway or any Apps out there that would let me email pictures from the iPhone that is not inline/embedded images. This is starting to become an issue because at work Lotus Notes does not allow the receiver to save images that I send from the iPhone onto their computer because the images does not appear in an account. Instead the images are inline/embedded.
If anyone have a solution to this without using additional programs for the user with Lotus Notes that would be great. Thanks!

I have no idea, but a photo attached to an email with the iPhone's Mail client is not embedded in the message body. A photo attachment that appears inline or viewed in place in the message body is not the same as being embedded. Although the Mail.app on a Mac and the iPhone's Mail client displays photo/image attachments inline or viewed in place within the body of the message for received and sent messages, it depends on the recipient's email client if such an attachment appears inline or viewed in place when the message is opened, or if such an attachment must be opened separately to be viewed. Either way, it is sent as a true attachment to the message.

How to insert embedded image into TextArea htmlText (and add IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR listener).

I unsuccessfully tried to find way to insert embedded image into TextArea via <img> tag. Can you point me out how to do this?
Also, please, tell me how to handle IOErrorEvent from TextArea because adding IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR listener to TextArea doesn't cause any effect when image url of img tag has not been found.
Thanks

Mail won't let me drag images into Finder

Here's another one since I installed the updates from Mavericks.
Mail has stopped letting me drag images into Finder, which means that now I have to control click, Save Attachment..., then wade through all of my folders and directories, which is a nuisance! Why has it suddenly stopped allowing me to drag?
Again, only just started doing this today.
I have quit and restarted Mail - did not solve the problem.
Thanks,
Rory

Update: force quit and relaunched Finder - solved the issue.

Embeding image into XML document

Hi,
I am in need to embed image into XML file so that when somebody else uses the XML file, the image is still there. Is there any way to do this? Is it possible? Please give me some suggestions if you know about.
Thanks a lot.

well, the blowup in size from 3MB to 5MB is expected when you do the text encoding, cause you are taking binary data and converting it to a small range of characters. there are alternate algorithms which result in less of a blowup than base64 (like ascii85), see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Binary-to-text_encoding_formats
most image files use some sort of compression algorithm, which is why your file is much smaller than the image byte[]. you could just stick the file byte[] in the xml, but you might need to add additional attributes to indicate the image encoding (e.g. "gif" or "jpg").
but, basically, you aren't doing anything "wrong".

Imported once into mail, can't do it again...

I recently used o2m (http://www.littlemachines.com/) to export all of my Outlook mailboxes from a pc to .mbox files. I turned to this software after having afew problems exporting other files. They all imported just fine into mail. I went back and grabbed a few more, and now when I import, everything seems to go OK, but after it is done, the program says that the files are "in the folder named 'Import-2' in the mailboxes list" but the folder is not there. anyone else seen this?

RTF with Tiger Mail is HTML but you must select RTF for message composition and then select a font via the Font panel when composing a message.
If you are referring to an HTML composer/editor to insert HTML code with embedded images and/or objects, you can do so with an HTML composer of choice (Text Edit can be used for this). Save the completed document and open the saved document with Safari. After confirming the layout and rendering is OK, at the menu bar go to File and select Mail Contents of This Page. This can be done with any website page selected and the rendered HTML document will be copied to a new Mail.app message which will be sent in its entirety.
Sounds cumbersome but if sending a complex HTML composed message is not something you need to do on a regular basis, it isn't so bad and you can create an HTML template for the Mail.app to be reused when needed.

Unable to load TIF images into Photoshop.

CS4 (11.0.2) and Windows 7 Home Edition.
Have developed a problem trying to load some TIF images into Photoshop. I have a large number of images archived over a decade or more. At this point it may some of the older files that exhibit the problem. Now all these files were edited and stored using the Photoshop versions during the complete time period. The files are always saved with no compression. Have tried to load from Photoshop and clicking on the file in a file list. Photoshop just hangs and I get the message Program not responding. I can take these same files and load them into the ROXIO photo editor with no problem. Stranger yet is if I simply load the file into the ROXIO editor then "save as" back into the same folder (overwrite) the file can then be brought into Photoshop with no problem! Any ideas?

Noel,
Will try to keep short.
I reinstalled Photoshop CS4 from the cd CS set. Did not uninstall first. Restarted PC and Photoshop. Still failed the same way with a 3001 image.
Did the following, changing one item in the Edit->Preference->GPU Setting. After each change, closed Photoshop, reopened, brought in 3001 image, restored original setting. 3001 failed each time.
* Unchecked Enable OpenGL Drawing
* Advanced setup: Unchecked Advanced Drawing.
* Advanced setup: Unchecked Color Matching
Next went to the Edit->Color Profile.
Scanned thru options and saw in the Convert Options: Engine. It was set to Adobe (ACE). ACE was the module name in the error detail!
Only other option for this is Microsoft ICM. Changed to that, close/open Photoshop and 3001 came in no problem. So did the Nikon 3000, srgb IEC 61922 2.1 and Untagged. However, when briging in an Adobe RGB(1998) image Photoshop notes Profile Mismatch. It allows me to decide what to do (use embedded profile instead of workspace; convert color to work space color; discard embedded profile. and I choose use the convert color and it loads ok. At least it loads the image! Will use this approach for now. I need to get educated on color profiles!!

Inserting or embed and image into cfmail output from a database-stored path to an actual image.

I am trying to insert or embed and image into cfmail from a database-stored path to an actual image. The actual JPEG image is stored in a folder called "images_personnel". The path to the image under the column titled photopath is stored in my database table as "/file/images_personnel/28.jpg". Displaying the image on the screen renders without a problem, embedding the same image as part of a cfloop query does not insert/embed the image into an email. All of the other output of the same cfloop displays and emails just fine. However none of the photos of each personelle show up. What an I doing wrong?
My code is below:
<cfquery name="Staffreport" datasource="master">
Select staffreport.*, name.personnelid, name.email, name.last, name.noiid, stafflt, CONCAT(name.fname,' ',name.middle,' (',name.last,')') AS teammember, CONCAT(name.fname,' ',name.middle) AS teammember2, concat(name.photopath,'',name.photo)as hisphoto, stafflt.*, trim(concat(ltfname,' ',ltmiddle)) as LT from Staffreport, name, stafflt
where 0=0
and stalt = '#Session.user_id#'
and ltid = '#session.user_id#'
and staweekbegin = <cfqueryparam value="#form.staweekbegin#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" />
AND staweekend = <cfqueryparam value="#form.staweekend#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" />
AND stapersonnelid = personnelID

AND CITY = 'richmond'
AND STATUS <> 'd'
AND STATUS <> 'T'
AND type = 'personnel'
Group by personnelid
Order by teammember
</cfquery>
<cfmail>...
<cfloop query="staffreport"><br />
<table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="4" align="left">
<tr>
    <td colspan="2" align="center" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" bgcolor="cccccc"><strong><font color="black"><cfif #staffreport.last# eq ".">#Ucase(Staffreport.teammember2)# <cfelse>#Ucase(Staffreport.teammember)#</cfif> - ID: <cfoutput>#Staffreport.noiid#</cfoutput></font></strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td align="left" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" bgcolor="#000000">Name:</td>
    <td>#Staffreport.teammember#</td>

</tr>
</table>
</cfloop>
</cfmail>

You'll need to provide a full URL link to the image ("http://mywebserver/file/images_personnel/28.jpg"), not just a relative path. Remember, the email client that is used to view the email content knows nothing of the internals of your web server - it can only follow a complete URL to get images and other resources.

Can't put image into the body of Yahoo Email.

Although easily done using I.E or Outlook, any attempt to paste an image into the body of a Yahoo Mail results in nothing happening when using Firefox. I do NOT want to use I.E.
This is a major problem. Attachments are no solution. In many industries, including mine, we like to send flyers as images or IN-LINE documents via email.
Will Firefox / Mozilla address this issue?
Is there a solution already?

I have 2 FF windows open. One to view my picture and one with Yahoo mail. If I click and drag the picture into my Yahoo mail body, it works. Can't do copy/paste like in IE.

Sending image in mail

Hi,
I have a requirement to send image in mail.
I got a code from a post which is as following :
import javax.mail.* ;
import javax.mail.internet.* ;
import java.util.Properties;
class SimpleMail1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
        System.out.println("Sending mail...");
        Properties props = new Properties();
        props.setProperty("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
        props.setProperty("mail.host", "smtp.mymailserver.com");
        props.setProperty("mail.user", "myuser");
        props.setProperty("mail.password", "mypwd");
Session mailSession = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
        mailSession.setDebug(true);
        Transport transport = mailSession.getTransport();
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(mailSession);
        message.setSubject("HTML mail with images");
// write sender's and recpient's email address
   message.setContent
          (" img src=image_path" + "html/text");;
        transport.connect();
        transport.sendMessage(message,
            message.getRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO));
        transport.close();
Here, the image is being taken from an internet link whereas I am working on Linux server.
If I place a file on some location on the server, how to get the file from this location in this code?
Regards,
Nikhil

Cary,
I got your email overnight.
The 5 attachments are full size JPEG files, and the overall size of the message is 4.5 MB. Three of them have been compressed more than the other two, which you can see looking at the file sizes shown in the attached screenshot I sent back to you, but all of them decompress into full size photos of good size.
You may have muddied the water slightly, by Forwarding rather than sending a new message as you did originally. That can easily be checked if you open the message as originally sent, click on Message in the menubar and choose Send Again -- then change the To address to mine.
However, I think there is another issue causing the message to be sent in Rich Text Format, which causes some conversion of text to HTML, which then is problematic to some email clients some recipients use on Windows computers, notably Outlook and Outlook Express. Specifically, the file name of each photo appearing beneath and between each attachment can cause this, as could multiple fonts (but you did have that). To stop the file name printing, which is coming from iPhoto's preparation of the message, change the selection in the Email dialogue in iPhoto to deselect Include Title and Include Comments.
Then be sure to send all such messages in Plain Text, and be sure to use Windows Friendly if not already.
