Can we restrict an email link from getting encoded in Sengrid? - sendgrid

I am doing universal linking for android and IOS apps but as the links in the email are encoded by Sendgrid. It is not working as expected. Is there a way to stop the email links from getting encoded in Sendgrid configuration

Sendgrid encodes the links to allow for clicktracking. Turn off clicktracking to stop the encoding of the URLs.

Error when Azure Logic Apps Reply to Email in Outlook.com with HTML content

I am using Azure logic apps to auto-reply email using outlook.com connector.
When I use plain text in the reply it works fine like following:
It works as intended and replies to the new email with the text.
But when I use HTML in the comment it gives error:
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
Is it possible to include HTML in the email reply action for outlook.com in logic apps?

Inline Microdata in Email not showing although correct

So I added the inline microdata to the first two articles of our newsletter (schema.org type Article) and tested it with the Email markup tester. It showed no errors and the data was analyzed correctly. When I send the newsletter to my gmail address, I don't get the summary box that I should get with microdata enabled emails. Any help?
The online version of my email can be found here: https://yz.emsecure.net/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=Ji6eGRCbfS1Th6QKQlY_yrcy7KZDmJiS0s8nTPf1pfoyKcwEDzcXggWWbz7%2BVVizUZgCNG0A6DKOdWA721tJJr&_SHOWMAILHEADER=TRUE
Based on the documentation:
You can easily test if your markup is working correctly end-to-end by sending emails to yourself. All emails where the sender and the recipient are the same account ignore the registration requirements and can be used for self-testing.
DKIM or SPF authentication is still required for self-testing.
Once the markup is tested end-to-end with this technique and you are ready to launch your integration to production, check Registering with Google for the next steps.
But I found a related SO post - Testing microdata in Gmail doesn't work that functionality is still missing from Gmail. You can use Apps Script, App Engine to test it as this post suggested

How to embed videos in Outlook or Thunderbird?

Is it possible to embed Youtube videos in email messages in Outlook or Thunderbird so that the receiver can play the video inside of Outlook or Thunderbird?
(I dont want picture with hyperlink to youtube).
Thanks for hint or tip.
You can use the embed code of Youtube. Then in Thunderbird, create an html-formatted message and go to Insert ->HTML, put your embed code there.
Most mail clients won't display anything, but some may do it. Thunderbird itself will not show it.
You can use third-party services like viwomail to generate a HTML template of your mail. They will do things like generating GIF/images(to be used in cases when email clients don't allow videos to play).
Next, you can use services like Sendinblue to send HTML email.
Some of the email clients do not allow videos strictly. However, Apple mail client, outlook 16(only on MAC), Samsung native email app and some other clients do work for me.

How to start activity from mail default application by link (Android)

i'm new to Android developing and i'm trying to write an app to send/receive encrypted messages through the default email app.
No problem in sending, since it's easy to send cyphertext email through intents.
I'm finding a lot of difficultes in reception: as far as i know, the email app doesn't broadcast any intent for incoming emails, and there's no way for a developer to access the application's database (right?).
So i thought, as i read in a few topics here, to put a DECRYPT link in the builded encrypted mail that should open my application and decrypt the message. I'm trying to implement it, but i'm confused about a few things.
1) Sending a text/html message with a href tag is supposed to build a link in the body of the email. This thing doesn't work. The link is shown as a plain text.
2) Building an intent and putting in the link as
<a href=intent.toUri()>DECRYPT</a>
and then making an intent-filter for my application decrypt activity should work? The intent i sent as link is just broadcasted when the link is clicked?

How do I send an image via email through the built-in iPhone Mail app?

I would like to provide my users the ability to send an image/picture (displayed through a UIImageView in the app) to their friends via email using the built-in Mail app.
In a way, I want a very similar user experience to the way the Photos app does this. User clicks on a button, the image/picture is copied onto a new "compose" mail window on Mail app, and then they can finish sending the message over to whoever they want.
I searched quite a bit for tips on how to do this, and found nothing. A few people actually posted before on different message boards that this is not possible at all in SDK-land.
Anyone with more information on this?
If you plan on putting the app in the App Store, you're limited to the standard mailto links as specified in the iPhone URL Scheme Reference:
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/featuredarticles/iPhoneURLScheme_Reference/MailLinks/MailLinks.html
The options you have within the mailto link are spelled out in RFC 2368:
https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2368.txt
The only thing that seemed remotely possible was using the mailto link to set the headers to describe the message as having an attachment and then adding in the MIME/base64 encoded data within the body of the message. I highly doubt that such an approach would work since the mailto link was not intended to be used this way - the RFC states:
"The mailto URL is primarily intended for generation of short text messages that are actually the content of automatic processing (such as "subscribe" messages for mailing lists), not general MIME bodies."
However, even if the above method did work, the RFC still leaves it open to the email client to choose to ignore or otherwise modify "dangerous" headers within the link - so even if you were able to construct a valid mailto URL with a MIME body and the proper headers, Mail.app may still choose to ignore the attachment related parts of your message.
If you try to communicate with Mail.app in any other way, you have a very high likelihood of being rejected by Apple.
send the image to a web application that will inturn do the sending. using the mailto scheme will launch iphone's email application but your application will quit meaning the user will have to relaunch it later..
