Thanks for the information though.
It’s a german company. Be glad you are offered e-mails at all. The official german communication medium to this day is FAX.
because it works, even in a crowdstike
Did the fax go down from CrowdStrike? No. The superior communication medium!
My HR told me I could no longer email bills, but instead had to give them the original paper. I’m afraid somebody there will have a heart attack when I tell them that that PDF file is the original.
hehe, FAX sounds like TCP ACK but waaay more rude.

Ikea email. You get the parts and assemble it yourself
Emails are surprisingly hard to format, actually. If you want to use modern HTML, anyway.
No it’s not. Its just hard if they need to work in Outlook, which uses a Word Processor instead of an HTML rendering engine like any other sane email client.
It’s wonderful for you that you live in a world where people use something else than Outlook to read email at work.
I use https://mjml.io/ for HTML emails, highly recommend it if you dont want to deal with Outlook’s bullshit.
Looks like someone didn’t set up their MIME types right. I get it, though, email is a terrible protocol to work with if you’re trying to do anymore more complicated than sending a plaintext message.
At least they didn’t hit you with one of those winmail.dat files!
Is it possible to put images in an email without them showing up like this?
yeah it uses this really neat semantic rendering programming language for serving structured documents across servers
It’s a bit tricky, but anyone with at least a Masters in CompSci should be able to parse some of it enough to get the gist. Bear in mind that the “source” is abbreviated to src, and “image” similarly. The rest is coding that gives the computer instructions, you’ll also need to replace FILENAME in the code with the actual filename. It goes like this
<img src="FILENAME" />Let me know if I can explain it more clearly.
I feel like the level of snark in your reply is… High. It doesn’t make for a pleasant interaction, and it doesn’t help make lemmy a nice place to be.
So, if the image you want to put into your email is not hosted somewhere, what’s the best way to go about this, ensuring compatibility?
I don’t think it’s really directed at you and moreso about making fun of the company who didn’t put in any effort to make it show up correctly.
Stupid people shouldn’t be permitted to use computers.
