I feel like the level of snark in your reply is... High. It doesn't make for a pleasant interaction, and it doesn't help make lemmy a nice place to be.

So, if the image you want to put into your email is not hosted somewhere, what's the best way to go about this, ensuring compatibility?

I don't think it's really directed at you and moreso about making fun of the company who didn't put in any effort to make it show up correctly.

I'm just being a silly billy it's not directed at you.

It's more like "ah if only there was a simple solution that could've been used."

All images are hosted somewhere, I would consider an intern fresh out of college know how to correctly add an image to an email, or at least only be told once if somehow they had never seen this before.

You can base64-encode the image file. It's super-jank, but it works, even in Outlook.

You can have inline images that are only shown as part of the rendered HTML. Don't ask me how, but you'll find some examples in your inbox.
