I don't remember anything about direct embedding of html into a MailMate
message to achieve that
Here's how I did note to do it when that thread was making the rounds:
```

```
MailMate's markup engine will convert that (when unquoted of course)
into a thumbnail with an embedded link to a video.

Hi there
I tried to embed the HTML for a Vimeo video player (for my sister who
would love such a direct way to look at a video).
I saw on this list the around the subject “Embedding a video link
with thumbnail in Mailmate”, but I still can’t make it work. The
embed code from Vimeo is something like this:
```
<div style="padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;"><iframe
src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1087658066?badge=0&autopause=0&player_id=0&app_id=58479";
frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture;
clipboard-write; encrypted-media"
style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"
title="The squeaking Flevo (2025)"></iframe></div><script
src="https://player.vimeo.com/api/player.js";></script>
```
But when I paste it directly into a Markdown message it is not
rendered as a video link, I just see the embed text . — What’s
going wrong?
Many thanks for any pointers!
