[Using Sakai] Embedded images in Email Archive tool

[Daniel Merino]

Hi everybody.

We have had a complaint from one of our teachers, because he is not able 
to send embedded images in HTML emails when using Email Archive tool.

The image is sent by email client in an <img src> tag. However, when 
Mail archive tool receives the email, the images are stripped from the 
HTML content and are linked in the end of the email as attachments. 
Links that, besides, are not accesible without logging into Sakai.

We are running Sakai 2.7.1 but I have checked that this is also the 
behaviour in 2.8 installations.

I don't know too much about emails, but I wonder: is there any technical 
reason for linking the embedded images as Sakai's attachments instead of 
linking them as <img src> tags and sending them as multipart content?

Does anybody know some solution to send an embedded image with Email 
Archive tool? The emails sent with Messages tool allow to do this.

Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
