Support Can't view embedded images in email.

[heisoktoday]

Hi,

I am new here. I have not even been lurking using the forum without registering; so also not experienced with the Forum culture which varies site to site. Thank you very much for any help in advance. It dawned on me just now, that if this was a widespread issue, there would be far more threads. Maybe a setup issue, or easy work around.

This does not seem to be a device specific question, as it effects my HTC G2, Tranformer Prime, and apparantly other devices posting the same question in there respective device forums.

When viewing embeded pictures in the messages they show up as a little blue box with a question mark. I would like to see the pictures automatically in the message body as the sender always includes a text comment under each photo . Using both Gmail, and Yahoo Mail through the devices email program, and downloaded yahoo email application. It displays inside the message automatically on my wifes other proprietary operating system device.

Is this possible? one of the other device specific threads is referenced below, but I can not put a complete link in.

Hi Denis, and welcome!

You'll find that Android Forums is a pretty laid-back place.

Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to offer much useful advice as I use Gmail solely, and have no experience with the Android email app. With the app open though, check in Menu/Settings for something like "View images inline" or similar.

Hopefully somebody else will be along soon to offer you more detailed assistance.

The standard email client doesn't have an option to auto-view images. Enhanced Email does and I think K9, Maildroid and some others likely do.

Can't comment on the Gmail or Yahoo apps - never used them.

Thank you very much for the welcome, and the answer I needed. I will choose one of the email programs which support this. For whatever reason, I did not think to try any email programs other than what I mentioned.
