Do any other images using this method (of calling an SRC value) work? I don’t think it’s the image; I think it’s Gmail (or possibly any other mail client) blocking images called in this manner.
See this article from SendGrid for an informative explanation: https://sendgrid.com/blog/embedding-images-emails-facts/ >From the article: The problem with CID embedded images is that they don’t always display properly in email clients. The rule of thumb I use is that CID embedding will work fine in the majority of desktop email clients, but most likely not at all in web based email clients such as Gmail, or Yahoo! Mail. Bummer. I have a feeling your images are not working in Gmail due to this fact. The article does talk about other methods though, so you may find your solution there.

The email sends fine, except for one single image. I have tried both an http ref as well as pulling it from disc. Does anyone see anything in the super simple code that could be causing the issue? I have been at this since 8am and have renamed the image, went from jpg to png to gif and even recreated it from scratch. No matter what, gmail gives it as an attachment; but in the original email all embedded images are working as expected.. <cfset imgPath=rootFolder&"image/l/email/"> <cfmail to="[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" from="[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" replyto="[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" subject="testin" type="html"> <cfmailparam file="https://www.sawblade.com/image/l/email/playvideovim.gif"; contentid="vwvidbut" disposition="inline" /> <cfmailparam file="#imgPath#playvideovim.gif" contentid="vwvidbut1" disposition="inline" /> <img style="margin-top:7px;" src="cd:vwvidbut" width="142" alt="Click to view Tech Tip Video"><br> <img style="margin-top:7px;" src="cd:vwvidbut1" width="142" alt="Click to view Tech Tip Video 1"> </cfmail> [cid:[email protected]] -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "Houston ColdFusion Users' Group" discussion list.
