When I open the newsletter with Thunderbird or Outlook, the image is being displayed. However, when I open it with Gmail, no image is shown.I”m not sure if it”s about the proxy that Gmail uses for security reasons or if it”s something else. Either way, I”d like to know if anyone ever came across this and if so, how it was solved.
Watching: Email images do not appear in gmail/web
Late to the party but here goes… I have experienced this problem as well and it was solved with the following:Including the scheme in the src url (using “https://” does not work – use full scheme EG: “https://”)Including width and height attributesIncluding style=”display:block” attributeIncluding both alt and title attributes
EG:
Google only allows images which are coming from trusted source .
So I solved this issue by hosting my images in google drive and using its url as source for my images.
Example: with: http://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=FILEID”>
to form URL please refer here.
Please also check your encoding: Google encodes spaces as + instead of %20. This may result in an invalid image link.

How Gmail makes images safe
Some senders try to use externally linked images in harmful ways, butGmail takes action to ensure that images are loaded safely. Gmailserves all images through Google’s image proxy servers and transcodesthem before delivery to protect you in the following ways:
Senders can’t use image loading to get information like your IPaddress or location. Senders can’t set or read cookies in yourbrowser. Gmail checks your images for known viruses or malware. Insome cases, senders may be able to know whether an individual hasopened a message with unique image links. As always, Gmail scans everymessage for suspicious content and if Gmail considers a sender ormessage potentially suspicious, images won’t be displayed and you’llbe asked whether you want to see the images.
