Hi,

I have to create a template for a client and I am wondering if there is a way to Import an already encoded mail into MaxBulk Mailer ?

I'd like to use an Apple Mail.app Stationery template, so it would be very convenient to reuse the html code AND the Base 64 encoded images directly in MalxBulk:
no html coding for my client…
:wink:
 
I just saw another topic about this subject http://www.maxprog.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1830&hilit=stationary.

The answer from Stanbusk is right, but if there has not been any improvement in MaxBulk about this subject 2 years after, I am afraid that it wouldn't very be convenient to use an Mail.app stationary...

- Copy/Paste the code between the <HTML> and </HTML> means that we'll also have to modify each image html link.
- Reimport and reencode each image previously exported from the encoded mail.

Any idea to improve procedure?
:?
 
Yes, ou have to make sure you use absolute URLs in your message to the pictures on your site. It is all you have to do. I believe MaxBulk Mailer will include its own set of templates soon or later.
 
Thanks for your answer stanbusk

I think (not sure as I am discovering it) that Mail.app stationary allways encodes pictures in Base64.

Tell me if I am wrong, but I'd prefer also to embed Base64 encoded images in mailings as (as far as I know) not every client mail application loads images from internet by default. I remember that Outlook (at least 2003 version...) didn't loaded them.

Is it a good practice to send HTML with inline embedded pictures?

Hum interesting... Could you explain why?

lighter message so it's less seen as spam by servers: is it the reason? It's a delicate balance...
 
Yes, the message is sent faster, the message is received faster, it has no attachments and it is more compatible. It is actually how almost 100% marketers send their emails nowadays.
 
Thanks for your explanation.

I have just a last question:
Is it still true that
not every client mail application loads images from internet by default. I remember that Outlook (at least 2003 version...) didn't loaded them

If major client mail apps don't automatically load mail images, it could be a problem, no?
 
Right now it is rare, more often you will have problems with servers (specially corporate servers) removing attachments screwing your message with inline pictures.
 
A moderator in PHPLists forum told me that
all mail clients that I use do not display remote images by default - Thunderbird, Yahoo webmail, Google webmail, and Lotus Notes (at work) all display a prompt asking whether to display remote images.
