Hi Cassie: just to confirm:
you're suggesting it's better to attach the gif's to the email because it saves each email hitting your site to load up those gif's? seems a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't. lots of email lists block attachments by default, for security/virus reasons. Lyris has this but I'm surprised CFAUSSIE has this turned off. on the other hand, not everyone reads their email while online. They connect with their client and download it, reading it at their leasure. "all of the people some of the time" , perhaps? just 2c worth barry.b -----Original Message----- From: Cassie Woolley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 29 September 2003 8:36 AM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] RE: cfmail embedding images bandwidth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Tilbrook" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CFAussie Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 8:10 AM Subject: [cfaussie] RE: cfmail embedding images > Why bother "attaching" at all? > > I usually design the HTML of the message to point directly to the web site > where the images are stored. eg: > > <img src="#ApplicationURL#/images/myimage.gif"> > > This has the added benefit of reducing the size of the message/s. > > Peter Tilbrook > ColdFusion Applications Developer > ColdGen Internet Solutions > Manager, ACT and Region ColdFusion Users Group (http://www.actcfug.com) > 4/73 Tharwa Road > Queanbeyan, NSW, 2620 > AUSTRALIA > > Telephone: +61-2-6284-2727 > Mobile: +61-0439-401-823 > E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > World Wide Web: http://www.coldgen.com/ > > > > --- > You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/ > --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/ --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/
