Hi Phil,

Would it be possible to get ZM to generate html e-mails. this way i could the see the triger image in the message rather than as an attachement.

running zm1.19.2

Regards

Paul

Hi Paul,

At present I don't think there's a simple way but I'll add it to the ToDo list and try and get it in the next release.

Phil,

Hi Phil,

I've been looking into this and have managed to get sendmail to include html code in an e-mail.

basicly after the From: addrerss in the header you need "Mime-Version: 1.0" and "Content-Type: text/html"

you can then include html tags in the e-mail and assuming that the e-mail client can deal with html then that's it.

however. i have yet to look into updating your code. What is needed is a url for the alarm image rather than the path.

There is a problem i forsee with this option in that the server where the images are stored would need to be accesable by the e-mail client.

however i think that this would be a good feature to beable to turn on off for e-mailed alerts.

Many thanks for the continued development.

Regards

Paul

Hi,

Images can be included inline in HTML mails so access to the server itself is not a problem. PHP itself is a bit thin in terms of MIME mail support but I do have a class somewhere I've used before and that will be included when this feature gets addressed. Sumertime is just not a very good season for new features!

Phil,

Try turning on inline image viewing

I use Thuderbird for my email and it displays the pictures inline. Which all I do is scroll to the bottom of the email and there area the pictures.

Maybe change to a open source email package?

I realize this is an old thread, but since I found it when looking for similar posts and assume others will also, I'm going to post a link to my solution.
