C# - HTML Email "opens" Not Being Tracked?
Oct 26, 2010
Let's say I wanted to show my StackOverflow "flair" badge in the signature of an email in Outlook. Obviously, I would want the image to be refreshed whenever I reply to an email or forward the email. Now, assuming the I (and others) have decided to allow images to be downloaded from me (who in this case we'll call a "trusted source") then they would see my flair badge refreshed on subsequent loads. If I copy and paste this badge into a new email then the image will not refresh on subsequent page loads because Outlook has embedded the image and severed the link to original image.
I completely understand everyone's comments about spam but this question is more about Outlook VML and manipulation of it. If the answer is always and forever "spam! Off with his head!" then that's fine. I get it but it seems to me that there may be situations where someone may not want the default behavior of Outlook to modify an email that it has already accepted.
Original Questions
We have an internal mail system that dynamically generates and sends HTML emails. We have a web beacon generated by an HTTP handler. The system works as expected: users recieve emails and we track opens as the web beacon is called.
The problem occurs when someone takes that same email that they just received (and we just tracked) and copies & pastes the content (including the web beacon) into a new email in Outlook. Outlook embeds all images instead of maintaining the URL back to the web beacon.
Is there a way to generate an image through an HTTP handler such that the src of the image is maintained when pasted in Outlook?

I have a panel control whose background is an image. Using css, I have some variables inside that panel control. Now, if I want to email the panel control (with the background image and the text in them), how would i do that? Whenever I send an email, it misses all the styles and the background image as well.
Let me know if you need any more info.

I have an user control for users to input information, once the page is submitted, an email will be sent to web admin, the email body is supposed to look exactly the same as user control. Current I am using XSLT to generate email body, which is really difficult to maintain because everytime I made changes to user control I have to make the same changes to the XSLT. What is the best way to do this?

I am trying to implement a "send newsletter" process that works like this: -
1. The author develops a newsletter using Word.
2. When they are ready to distribute it, they save it as HTML, and upload this to the web site. It is then viewable with the appropriate URL.
3. They then distribute it with a web process that uses SendMail.
I have two problems: -
1. When you "Save as web page (*.htm, *.html)" from Word, the document is saved as .htm, and if there are any graphics within the document they are saved in a separate "*_files" folder. How do I upload this folder to the web site?
During testing I'm fudging this by uploading the folder with FTP, but of course this is not a viable solution for users.
2. I can send the email using alternate views, but the htmlview lacks the graphics. My logic reads the uploaded .htm document into a string variable called "HtmlBody", and then
code]....
This all works perfectly except that the email arrives just a graphic symbol and blank space where the graphic should be. How do I either send the graphics with the email, or (better) send it with references to the graphics back on the web page. The html
that I am sending out contains references to the graphics like <v:imagedata src="./FamNet%201%20July%202010_files/image001.jpg" o:title="NZSGFamNet"/>, which is looking in a subfolder from the folder containing the html. I suppose that if I could solve the first problem I could replace the "./" in the image reference to [URL]. This would not be too difficult, as I could recognize "FamNet%201%20July%202010" as the newsletter name and so look for the string"./" & NewsletterName & "_files". However somebody might be able to suggest a more elegant solution, provided that I can solve the first problem.

I would like to be able to render a view in ASP.NET MVC so that all css classes in the elements are rendered inline in the tags. The sole purpose of this is to have email clients recognise html, as I believe that style must be inline for it to be recognised in email messages.
Is there any facility in ASP.NET MVC (or ASP.NET) that allows this?

I have an asp.net / C# page which takes a comment, and then emails that comment. Sometimes when the user enters "&" in the comment, the comment is being truncated. So for example if the comment is "test & test" the email only sends out "test ".
I have tried HttpUtility.HtmlEncode - but it looks like the issue is on the outlook side and not on the C# side.
