It sure is a pain, even my gmail via the browser doesn't work, only gmail via my mobile seems to show the images in alerts
Surely there is a better way to email the images, as my guess is 90% of users don't have this working
You have my vote to fix this issue ... :-P

FWIIW - we are now ‘fixing’ this by piping the mails through a quick script that changes the base64 into a mime reference; and attaching the images in multipart.
I.e from image src="data:image/png;base64,(.*)” -> src=“cid:$cntr@$domain” en attaching something like below.
That seems to work well for a lot of (enterprise) folks.

--BoundArdyOuter$nonce Content-Type: multipart/related; type="text/html"; boundary="BoundArdy$nonce”
$html
—BoundArdy$nonce Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: inline; filename=$cntr.jpeg Content-Type: image/jpeg; name=“$cntr.jpeg" Content-Id: <$cntr@$domain>
$1 --BoundArdy$nonce
---BoundArdyOuter$nonce

Hi,
This has never worked for us either (Outlook 201x mixture here) – just assumed we had something incorrectly configured in Observium and had never really bothered to get it sorted. Always click the link to go and see the event/graph directly.
So, is it actually the case that the image is indeed there but Outlook chooses not to show it then?

Same Problem here with Outlook (2010). Was anyone able to fix this?
I tried a lot of settings in Outlook but wasn’t able to display the images…
Yeah, Outlook also blocks base64 images /Markus

Fwiw I've never had them work in outlook either. They work on mobile though

Hi,
I've seen that alerts include an image, base encoded in the actual html file, but the image is never displayed. Now I'm using that Redmond build software to read mails, perhaps that's why it's not working? Anyone else with outlook who can see the graph included in the alerts?
