thanks for the report, 2eat2drink. There are definite challenges when working with HTML emails, as timethief mentioned! I'll pass along the suggestion to the team responsible.

Thank you for the reply. Yesterdays post appeared completely different in e-mail from the new years eve post. Now, versus having smaller pictures at completely random heights and spacing, the pictures all appear full size in the window. This is much better, but they still don't appear in "gallery" form, as they do on WordPress. I personally use Apple mail, and they appear the same way in Yahoo mail.

There are many different email clients and they all display differently. In addition we can all set our email clients up to either display or not display attachments like images. I have tagged this thread for a Staff response. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they reply.

Why does a photo gallery not view correctly in an e-mail that is received by a subscriber? I set up a rectangular gallery on my post, that looks great on WordPress, but does not translate well to e-mails that are received. The images appear in random order and spacing.
Thanks!
