I'm surprised the author thinks this. I believe most popular email clients (Outlook, Thunderbird, and all web mail clients I know) do this, and it's what users expect when they forward an HTML email, I'd think.
- ghostly_s 3y agoIndeed. Fairly certain Mail.app does this as well, and is probably(?) the most popular mail client today. Author loses all credibility within the first 3 paragraphs imo.

- OJFord 3y agoMail.app the most popular client, are you kidding? I don't think I even know a Mac user who uses it, and I'd remind you that you've already limited to Mac users. Surely the most popular client is Gmail web? But Outlook, and iOS default even, presumably beat Mail.app by far too.
- pseudalopex 3y agoiOS default is Mail.app also.
- chrismorgan 3y agoYeah, I don’t think I’ve ever used a client that doesn’t include attachments (at least by default) and handle all cid: hrefs in any HTML.
- RealStickman_ 3y agoOutlook sometimes likes to swallow normal attachments when forwarding/replying or some combination. I've never experienced issues with inline images though.
