Hello

I don't want to use RED servers for my images and I also don't want to put them online somewhere. I just want to send the e-mail with my images included in the old-fashioned way. Is this not possible?

Try converting your images to base64 encoded string.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I'm confused as to why you would want to do this? If sending bulk e-mails, attached e-mails greatly increase the send load. So much quicker and easier to just link to a URL link.

Yes, I know it's not so clever. However, my client cannot have images/attachments on a server owned by someone else - because of security reasons, and they don't have a server themselves. So, they'll just have to live with sending out heavy e-mails.....

I'll try the base64 solution - if it's possible to include this string in RED...

Eric - the base64 encoding solution: Where exactly would I insert this large string in RED?

Ok - thanks!
Case closed, I guess.
I still think it's pretty strange that I cannot include the images in the actual e-mail....I should at least be able to decide whether I want to do that or not myself....

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
