picture size limit for display in eMail notification

[nnako]

Hi,

I sometimes attach/add a descriptive picture to a new post in a forum. Within the forum itself, the picture is displayed perfectly. But sometimes, the picture is not display within the notification eMail. And so, I guess, it is because of some picture size restrictions.

Is there a maximum picture size restriction for the picture to be transmitted within the notification eMail?
How big (e.g. in kilobytes) could a picture be to still be transmitted in a notification eMail?

Do you receive any image in your email? Don't you receive a link to the image which is in your forum?

You are right. There are no images sent in the notifications. Just links. So it must be a settings issue of my local eMail client.

But, would it optionally (using NAML) be possible to replace the picture link by real picture data in a notification eMail sent from Nabble?

I think you have to set it on your email client since we always send the img tag.
For example, Gmail shows the image.

Hi Pedro,

I just checked the eMail "source". And look what I found:



and



As you can see, the plain text (1) is correctly visible and would be clickable if the browser was displaying plain text contents. But the lines of the html text have breaks at least at each character position 77 in any line. It seems that when these breaks occur within an "img" link (2), the browser (here: Firefox) can not automatically identify the link and will consequently not display the picture. Ordinary links (3) are still clickable within the eMail so that it seems a local problem of correctly decoding line breaks within "img" tags.

The question would be:

At which point of the transmission route from Nabble to my local browser are the line breaks inserted into the HTML part of the eMail text (and not the text part)? At Nabble, at an eMail-Server or at my local eMail browser?

I could try to use NAML to convert the "img" tag to a "href" tag which would enable clickable picture display in any case, but omitting the additional line breaks with their "=" signs seems to be a better way to access the pictures. What do you think about the question? Do you have a clue about the origin of occasional line breaks within the eMail source text?
