For my work, we stumbled upon a little problem. We have made a few mailboxes, and when a user send a mail to this mailbox, it will make a ticket in our ticketing system.
That works fine! But our signature contains images, and our ticketing system takes these images as attachment. This is not what we want.
I tried making a transport rule to delete the signature, when we send it to one of these addresses, and looked it up on google. I saw on more sites that it was impossible to delete a signature with a transport rule.
I tried making a rule in outlook too, but i can't find anything.
Does somebody have the solution for this? I hope so! :)
Thanks in advance for thinking with me!
Look at the HTML body and find all the images. Delete attachments with the matching file name of the content-id property that matches the src attribute of the img tag.

In checking an email that I am coding (a reply-type email that my server will send), I notice that the a tag hyperlinks in my code are not working in Outlook. They work elsewhere, but not Outlook.
I know very little about Microsoft products, but I can tell you that the place I'm seeing this is in the online outlook.com you view in a web browser.
The simplest link, such as this...
Click here
...is coming through like this in the rendered email:
[http:www.yahoo.com]Click here
AND, it is not a link. It's just text. It appears as though the program is disabling the links (possibly because it finds the email suspicious of phishing, even though I added the domain to my trusted emails)???
Anyone know what is happening or how I can work around this?
I don't see anything wrong with the code you've posted, but I do know that Outlook.com will do this to links when it doesn't recognize them as valid links to an external site. Look for hidden characters, "smart" quotes instead of plain quotes, etc. in the link.
You should put the target on the link.
Like this:
Click here
All the email providers are placing zero pixel images at the end of the content for tracking opens. Is there any particular reason? For example:
<img src = "http://tracksamle.com/ssss/track.gif" width="0" height="0">
Someone may be able to explain to larger detail, but I'm guessing it is forcing the email client to fetch the image from said address (which I would guess is unique such that it can be cross linked to the intended receiver of the email).
By then, on server, you can determine if the email has indeed been opened, and the IP-address of the opening party.
How this interferes with spam filters and other in-transit email scanners, I do not know though.
Edit:
As #bartdude also mentions in comments, positioning at end imposes least inconvenience on load times for the reader, as by then rest of the email should already be loaded, albeit this depends on implementation of loading process.
Adding to the answer above, note that if someone opens an email and has the option to "load images" and they don't click the link to load them, it will not count as an open. This is true also for text only emails. So if someone is tracking opens, they will never be accurate because of this.
Did you work with email tracking tools like "GetNotify.com"?
I want to know how it works, with details.
In my opinion we have to create a php code that contains img tag, but I don't know how can I attach this on email content.
Thanks.
According to this FAQ entry, they insert an invisible image into the e-mail.
The idea behind this technique is that, upon e-mail opening, that image is downloaded from their server, providing them the IP address and the timestamp. Although, relying on the image being fetched, this service fails as soon as the image is not fetched (which you can configure many e-mail clients to do). EDIT: There is also a FAQ entry on that topic.
Inserting such an image into an e-mail is fairly simple: You need to get the e-mail html content and insert a new node. This is the second drawback: It fails when you use text messages. Instead, you would have to create a new HTML message.
I have a form built into a block on one of my content types, the content type has a file connected to the node.
I currently have a form the will send an email to the address you put in with a default message (ie if you put into the form, me#myemail.com, this email will receive a message saying "thank you for your interest.. ..please find your document attached" etc) However I'm struggling when it comes to attaching the file attachment of that node to the form, I have downloaded the mimemail module but there isn't a lot of documentation on how to do it.
(I apologise for repeating this question from the Drupal specific SO but this area seems to get more traffic)
Firstly, I would recommend you transition to webform rather than your own bespoke solution - as great and admirable as that is.
In looking around for a webform strategy to test and recommend, I found something that should do the job for you.
Have a look at this tutorial.
We've got some HTML emails that get sent out that show email addresses our service has blocked. When viewing the email in Outlook (and presumably in other clients as well) these plain-text email addresses get turned into clickable links that would compose a new message to this address when clicked.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Perhaps a meta tag with a flag that would prevent Outlook from converting these into clickable links?
Most email clients strip out META tags, Javascript, and other types of code not necessary for email. Outlook is going to do what it wants with your email, so what you may want to do is wrap the addresses with your own anchor tag and use a blank HREF. Then, style the link to look like the rest of your text.
I think a better answer is to formulate anything that you think a mail client might try to generate a link for in a way that breaks up the string a bit like this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7625887/470749
