  • Windows 10 laptop, (fully updated), Firefox, (updated), Googlemail, (assume updated).

    Attempting to add 'snips' generated by Windows Snip & Sketch in amongst the text of emails.
    I must have done this hundreds of times.
    Recently, say from mid-December '22 more often than not,
    I add the snip to the email, click on send, check the email and the snipped picture turns into a multiline stream of characters.

    This morning's example, starting '<img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBOR ...'
    ending ' ... GbLYZweLc1ro5A6ypZ++'

    Am I doing something wrong, (apart from using Windows/Firefox/Googlemail etc),
    or is this a known glitch for emails?

  • Is the email in plain text format? Are you replying or is it a new email, if replying it could be down to the format of the one sent to you.

  • I don't know why, but this is encoding the image as data in HTML.
