allow HTML emails with embedded screen shots
Is it possible to send HTML emails to ProFox with embedded screen shots of code, examples, etc. Sometimes a picture helps explain the situation. James E Harvey Corresponding Officer/M.I.S.

RE: allow HTML emails with embedded screen shots
I'm sure there is a good reason for not allowing this option, but at work it has been very helpful with support and training users. We use a program called Snagit. One option is to do a printscreen and then you can edit the image, add text, symbols, etc., and save it, or copy and paste. James E Harvey Corresponding Officer/M.I.S.

Only allowing the links keeps storage requirements to a minimum, I suspect.

Re: allow HTML emails with embedded screen shots
Plus it keeps me from uploading my hate filled, NSFW images that Ed wouldn't ever be able to filter out what is appropriate and what is not. Yes, I have a million of those that I'd love to share with everyone if just given a chance. KIDDING!

There are several reasons for this. First, bandwidth is an issue. Sure, most people would be considerate and make sure that they only post important things, but people have proven again and again that they are incapable of trimming replies to a post. That would result in the same image being sent and re-sent dozens of times to hundreds of subscribers. Second, binary files and attachments are the primary vector for virus transmission in emails. A while back I analyzed my logs to see how many emails to the lists I hosts had been filtered out for containing malware, and extrapolating out, it would have been hundreds of such emails a month. Third, not everyone is interested in every thread, and might not appreciate having their mailboxes filled with irrelevant (to them) images and other such attached files.
