Email images are being removed in Outlook's PC app

sgianaca · ‎04-27-2022

Hope I'm posting this in the correct place. I'm redoing our company's email template and I've hit a roadblock. Microsoft Outlook seems to be removing images and some element stylings when the email is viewed from the PC app. Outlook in browser or on the Mac app works just fine. It's almost like the normal classes, or mkToImg classes are being completely ignored. Could someone help me address this? I have the email code below (swapped in dummy copy and links). Some of it is cannibalized from old templates that were made before my time:

Well, to all - I tried debugging this by importing the template and creating the email from it in the Marketo. I replaced the images with the image URLs (hosted in the Marketo's DS) and then sent out the sample email. Turns out except the image with HeroBackgroundImage id - all the images got loaded in the windows outlook desktop app as they should, and of-course on other clients, and on outlook web - all the images including HeroBackgroundImage did render.

Looks like HeroBackgroundImage may need some styles added for it to become outlook desktop app friendly.

Hi @sgianaca ,

Try to use the complete URL once, not only image name and extension.

Thanks!

@sgianaca
Also, you can upload all your images into Design Studio and reference the link with respect to each image.
Thanks,
Avinash

Thanks so much for taking the time to test that. I've tried reinforcing the HeroBackgroundImage in the .emheader class as a background url, but that doesn't seem to work. Any advice on where and which stylings I should try to attribute to HeroBackgroundImage that Outlook will read?

Jo_Pitts1 · ‎05-02-2022

To do background images that are supported in Outlook desktop app on windows, you need some VML code.

Here is an example that allows a smaller 'badge' to be floated over a background image. There is also some special case mobile code as the badge goes in a different size to make it still readable.

              <tr class="mktoModule" id="mkto-myClient-badged" mktoAddByDefault="false" mktoName="myCLient Badged Header">
                <td class="mk" bgcolor="${mkto-content-bg-color}" style="background-color: ${mkto-content-bg-color}; width:100%;"> 
                  <table class="mk" role="presentation" width="600" style="width:600px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
                    <tr class="mBYE" style="display: block;">
                      <td align="center" bgcolor="${mkto-content-bg-color}" background="${mkto-badged-header}" width="600" height="340" valign="top" style="height:340px; border: 0px; background: url('${mkto-badged-header}'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center;">
                        <!--[if gte mso 9]>
                          <v:rect xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" fill="true" stroke="false" style="width:600px; height:340px;">
                          <v:fill type="frame" src="${mkto-badged-header}" color="#7bceeb" />
                          <v:textbox style="mso-fit-shape-to-text:true" inset="0,0,0,0">
                        <![endif]-->
                            <table valign="top" role="presentation" width="600" style="width:600px; height:340px; vertical-align: top; padding 0px 0px 0px 0px; margin: 0 auto;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">

                                </td>
                              </tr>
                            </table>

                    <!--[if !mso]><!-->

Let me know if that is helpful

sgianaca · ‎05-03-2022

This was incredibly helpful! I studied your code, which inspired a bit of a deep-dive on VML injections in general. A VERY cool way to address this issue. Thanks so much! I found a working solution.

Jo_Pitts1 · ‎05-03-2022

@sgianaca ,

I'm please you were able to leverage my module snippet. I must do a blog post on the topic of VML image controls.

Can you mark my answer as being correct please?

Cheers

Jo
