Inline Attachments ? about postmark-rails

Hey,

Unfortunately we don't support inline attachments in Postmark. We recommend using external references instead. Let me know if that works for you.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply, inserting inline images seems to be the only way to work well in outlook and most of webmails (even if it's not the right way).

But I'll keep Postmark in mind for others projects, your service is great.

I was told that using :smtp as a delivery method for inline image attachments works. Trying it I get this result: https://gist.github.com/8fe41018e4db382246ac

As you can see, sending this email through gmail works just fine. The image tag correctly links to the attachment's cid (4f154b43a2fff_4135f1507953a@... in this case) and the attached image has the same id as a Content-ID.

Sending the same email through postmark however strips the Content-ID header for the file attachment (along with a bunch of other headers) only leaving the headers Content-Type, Content-Transfer-Encoding and Content-Disposition

Why does it strip the Content-ID? It would seem that we'd otherwise be able to easily use inline attached images through smtp with postmark?

Hi Sven,

This is not the issue with Postmark-rails library. Postmark currently does not support emails with inline images. Please, stay tuned to our Twitter account and newsletter, we will announce this feature when it becomes available.
