Hi all,

at the moment it seems that images are inserted with relative links in an email template (and are also sent this way :whistle: ).

However, even if I insert it with absolut paths (manually), then it is no guarantee that these images are also displayed in the email program of the receiver. Despite the fact, that noone can guarantee the display by 100%, still, if the images could be embedded in the emails, it would be much more likely that they do get displayed.

Is this already possible and I overlooked it? Because so far I could only see that I can attach files (of any kind) but not embed images, which should be displayed within the text area of the email.

Thx for any help, regards, S.

I'm using the hosted LimeSurvey Pro version (at least 3.15) on LS servers, AND also the locally installed xampp version as well (at least 3.15).

Or is it possible with Limesurvey to instead have the generated html-email saved also as an html page and have a link to that page inserted at the top of the email, saying "If this email is not displayed properly, click here to view it in your browser."?

No, not out of the box but you could create your own HTML page and place a link in the email template.

Cheers,

Thx for the reply!
Yes, that would be possible but if I am working with tokens in the email then that user specific token will not be on that html page.

But I will do it in a different way. Just have to sort out all the options (and few limits) I have with Limesurvey and figure out the best combination of them. Thx again.
