How to embed an image into Chirovmail.

Step 1:  The image that you wish to embed in the Vmail needs to be hosted on a website. ChiroVmail does not “add” the image to the vmail. It will import the image through a link in the vmail from the online source.

Once you have that image uploaded to your website the following code below will allow you to copy and place that code into the vmail and it will show the image.(as long as the person receiving the email is online at the time.)

SOURCE CODE

<html>

<head>

<title></title>

</head>

<body>

 

<a href="http://www.yourwebsite.com/"><img src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/images/imagename.jpg"></a>

 

If this HTML e-mail does not render correctly, you may view the online

version at <a href="your link here">click here</a>.

 

</body>

</html>

Step 2: the above code will need to have your website links placed in the blue highlighted areas. Make sure the image locations are correct as any error will cause a broken link.

You will then in the Vmail click on the view source button (as seen below) this will then bring up the HTML window. You then should place the above edited code into the vmail.

It is recommended that when you make a newsletter or flyer that you want images included. It may be easier to create the document and save it as a jpeg. Then arrange to upload it as an image to your website in a folder.

 So when you send the entire vmail, the entire document is sent as an image. This will allow for you to upload new future mailings to the same location on the website and then you can send the same vmail each time (save as a Pattern in CVM).





Step 3: 
Once the code is copied in the vmail. Click the Source Code button again and it will then switch back to the Vmail view.

Here you should see the image come up. As it will pull the image from your website location.

 This will allow you to then save it as a PATTERN. Make sure to change the subject of the vmail prior to sending it out.

Always do a test run of the vmail to your own address to ensure no problems with it.

 

Step #4:  Now you can send your vmail and know that the images are included in the vmail.
