flesh-colored images in my html email - HTML Forums

crisdis · 04-03-2007, 08:16 AM

My co. emails responsibly (no spam) about our product. Can anyone tell me if I link images in my html emails to our server, will it matter that the pictures are before-and-after flesh-toned images (we have medical product related to aesthetics)--I don't want them to get blocked because they are confused for porn. Also would like to use a linked background image in the html email of a stylized "after-type" photo.

I know some companies use colors like "flesh-tones" to keep their employees off of questionable web sites, so want to make sure my emails won't be blocked or seen as spam.

Parental controls, AOL?

Thanks in advance

Only thing i could suggest is pheraps try using imageshack and link that way, unless your using sensitive materials that need to be on your servers at all times...

hope that helps

If you're sending out email and just need to know if you're directing the traffic back, send one to yourself, view the source and check for any "img src" tags. These should point you right to where your images are being served from. If you don't want the emails linked to your site, and they're just flesh tones, consider using bgcolor or another html tag to set colors in different parts of your email. That way, if your email gets banned, your website won't necessarily.
