Evolution - Embed images in email with Markdown as HTML

Applications
1

Hello,

In evolution, I’m trying to embed an attached image (not an external one) with the edition mode Markdown as HTML.
I tried to use:

![alttext](imagename.png)

But it didn’t work. (I had the image not found icon)
I spent some times googling but I couldn’t find anything.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Hi,
inline images in an HTML body are referenced as:

<img src="cid:ii_lxlwjdwz0" width="16px" height="16px">

expecting a multipart/related attachment with headers like:

Content-Type: image/png; name="image.png"
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="image.png"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-ID: <ii_lxlwjdwz0>

Notice the Content-ID header matches the img’s cid: URI.

There is currently no markdown-related code to do the transformation
for you (when the markdown is added to the message body either as HTML
or as markdown).

In other words, I’m sorry, there is no way to do it at the moment. Feel
free to file a feature request in the GNOME’s GitLab:

Bye,
Milan
