[videoblogging] Re: videos embedded into emails?
Hello and thanks for the post, I was wondering how does one put the embed HTML into an email? What is the first step to do that? I understand embedding, but If I used the embedding code from a source such as youtube or blip, would it then appear on the email? Thanks for some guidance on this interesting subject.

I understand embedding, but If I used the embedding code from a source such as youtube or blip, would it then appear on the email? What we found out... in our very very limited test... was that .Mac would display a video in an HTML embed element (in an e-mail). But GMail would not. So... some e-mail and webmail system have absolutely no known way of playing video in e-mail. But some do. I don't know of anyone who has done extensive tests. (We only check .Mac and GMail. So... YMMV.) Feel free to test out other e-mail or webmail systems, and let us know your results.

I just looked at the source code of the e-mail message, and there is an HTML embed element in there. (Which would potentially let the video play right in the e-mail.) I guess GMail just blocks it. And Mac Mail doesn't. Hmmm... it would be interesting to see a report of what e-mail clients and webmail services allow HTML embed elements.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: videos embedded into emails?
OK. It's that Olsen fellow. All the MinnesotaStories.com posts contain videos which play within the email. I subscribe to pretty much everything through RSSFWD, but as far as I can remember, none of the other emails I've received have videos which play within the email. I guess if you go to http://minnesotastories.com/ and View Source and copy however he embeds his videos there, and then put it through feedburner like he does, then you could make it work. Then I bet there's a way to distribute a feed item to a mailing list. Perhaps using Feedblitz instead of RSSFWD Haven't got time to work it all out, now. But there it is.
