A GMail eureka moment

Today I had a eureka moment with GMail.  As with many other people I get loads of so joke emails with embedded pictures.  Sometimes I get ones which actually are quite funny so I want to forward them on, but up until today GMail would always turn the mail to plain text and remove the images.

Its not just with joke emails either, any email which has embedded images, fancy formatting would get stripped out.

Turns out the solution to this problem is to make GMail send html emails rather than plain text ones.  To do this click ‘Rich formatting’ link just below the subject line.

Thankfully GMail remembers your preference so you won’t need to do it every time.

Happy Emailing
