            Bug ID: 53479
           Summary: Notification emails should embed icons as data URIs
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Echo
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

The 'talk' icon in Echo talk-page notification emails is loaded via HTTP:

<img src=3D"http://bits.wikimedia.org/static-1.22wmf13/extensio=
ns/Echo/modules/icons/Talk.png" alt=3D"" height=3D"30" width=3D"30"></td>

(note the mime encoding in the above source, sorry)

Because the image is loaded remotely, many mail readers (including Gmail) won't
show it by default, and it'll trigger a prompt to display remote images which
must be clicked on before you can see the icon.


I would recommend embedding the icons as data URIs if possible, so they don't
have to be loaded remotely. (Hopefully this isn't a compat issue...)
