Why are images not showing in IE in html email? - html

Hi I created an html email and tested it by sending it to different email clients like Gmail, Yahoo Webmail, and Windows Live Hotmail.
For images I used
<img src="http://www.mysite.com/image.png"/>
The image shows up in Gmail and Yahoo Webmail after unblocking it, but in Hotmail, even after the image is unblocked the image still does not show up.
I tested this in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer. This only occurs in Internet Exlplorer.
Why is this not working in Hotmail in IE?
Thanks

I had a similar problem. Some web pages would not show and clicking on the picture on properties reported the picture as a Blank.Gif. I went into Manage-Add-ons in IE 9 & 10 and went to Tracking Protection and disabled all protection, closed IE and restarted. Problem went away and pictures were visible. Went back into Manage add-ons and into Tracking Protection and re-read all listings and re-enabled one at a time looking for the problem listing. I now use a personal listing based on what I want blocked. Hope this helps someone, I have been trying to find a solution to this for the past 6 months.

if you're in IE9, try this:
click tools
click internet options
click security tab
click trusted Sites green check mark,
click sites on right-hand side,
add to the zone:https://login.live.com
click add
click close
click ok

Is it possible for a website to know if i open another browser?

Websites can track if i open new tab . Can they track me if i open another browser ?
I researched on internet but i only found information related to tabs so i guess it's not possible.I have seen websites showing that if user is idle and can they tell the same if i haven't closed the browser but i have opened another browser ?
For example i have opened some website on google chrome . If i open Firefox without minimizing the google chrome, will the website on google chrome able to know this ?
Websites cannot use cookies from two browsers so i think they cannot track.

mail doesnt show embed images properly on some browsers

Here's the thing, I want to send some text and pictures in a email, but decide what image to use AFTER I send the e-mail (Yeah, it sounds pointless and confusing, but it isn't pointless for the use I want to give it, believe me) so this was my idea:
I send the mail in html format using an embed image like this (I'm gonna use a real image I'm trying to send):
<img src="http://rodrigophp.byethost15.com/CAS/1/Tex1.png">
After the mail is sent, I go to a web I programmed, and using some php the desired image gets copied to the "/CAS/1/" directory, and renamed to "Tex1.png".
It all worked just fine about half a year ago, when I opened the recieved mail (after I set what image I wanted, to avoid browser's cache) it all worked perfectly.
But recently I tried it again, and it works If I see the mail recieved in gmail:
Gmail shows properly
But when I open it in outlook website or from my iOS devices, images won't show (and yes, I have the "download images" setting activated in iOS):
Outlook mail and iOS mail don't show the image (Tested on iPhone 5 and iPad 4 both iOS 9.2.1
I have no idea what's going on, it's like outlook web and iOS mail app can't access the URL, but it's clearly accesible for google mail web (but not if I open my gmail account in my mobile phone. The same mail, in the same account, can be seen on browser but can't be seen from Mail app.)
What's going on here? any ideas how to make it work? It worked perfectly for all of them about half a year ago!

Micrsosft outlook window is not acionable when user opens email from IE

Microsoft outlook window is not actionable when user make an email from the IE9.
Steps:
Open the Internet explorer (>=9 version) and open any web page suppose www.stackoverflow.com
click on 'File' of the IE and select send-->page by email. Then it automatically open an email page in outlook
Observe that the page you've opened in IE9 gets pasted in the body of the outlook email and the subject as 'Emailing:*******.htm' is opened
click on the outlook window other than this email window and observe that it is not actionable.
how can we make it actionable(it should respond to the other user requirements)?
Can't do that - IE uses Simple MAPI do display the message, and Outlook's implementation of Simple MAPI displays the message modally.
I don't think there's any quick or easy way to do this, so I think you would have to look at Add-ins for this. I don't know of any myself though for this.
Outlook has behaved like this for years, and it is annoying - same thing happens when you click a mailto: link on a page. Can you get your user(s) to try Chrome instead and perhaps use an extension there for emailing pages?
Might be quicker/easier to deploy a workaround.

Windows 8 + Chrome and broken mailto links

I can't get chrome on windows 8 to open mailto links. They work fine in IE, and they work fine in chrome if the mailto is handled by a website (such as gmail), but I can't get it to work if Outlook is set to handle the uri.
Has anyone else faced this issue?
I'm not certain from the description if the problem you're having is the same that I had, but...
If clicking a mailto: link is bringing Chrome to the forefront but not actually starting a new message in Gmail, then you probably need to set Gmail as the mailto handler within Chrome.
Open Chrome's Settings.
Click "Show advanced settings".
Under "Privacy", click "Content settings".
Under "Handlers", click "Manage handlers".
For the "mailto" Type, set the combo box to "Gmail".
OK, OK, and you're done.
Click a mailto: link to try it out.
You should follow the standard bug investigation/reporting path:
look up a similar issue at http://crbug.com
if none is found, file a
new one at http://new.crbug.com
That said, http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=62254 looks much like yours.

Mailto links are not working in Chrome

Mailto links are not working at all in Chrome (8.0.552.224).
These links are working in IE 7&8, Safari, and Firefox.
In Chrome, we are clicking on mailto links (we have tested this about 25 times now), and things just go into the ether.
In all other browsers, we click on the mailto links, they open up email clients (gmail, outlook, and others), and we can send the email.
But in Chrome, we click the mailto links and nothing happens...
mailto: links work on chrome, however it won't open a new window with all of the information ready to type up an email unless the user have the plugin that allows for it. If you want to test that the link is working go to your page and right click, you should have an option to copy the email address. Or you can install the plugin Chromemailer.
Update: I'm not sure when, but Google has implemented an update that now opens a window to gmail when you select a "mailto:" link. (presumably only if you are logged into gmail)
It works for me as well:
var url:String="mailto:xxx#yyy.zz?subject=subject?body=message"
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(url),"_blank");
