@cyberzork thank you for the detailed description. It is clear that in eMClient, remote embedded images in received email do not copy while editing the email either by forwarding or reply to the email. And it is clear that the images do copy when not in edit mode.
I am new to eMClient after Outlook (latest version) broke and is unrepairable (< 1 week ago). My impression so far is that eMClient is excellent. Of course, I do have this exact same image copy/paste issue.
The image copy problem is unfortunate for my use case. As part of my daily operations, I need to include the email header (from/to/cc/date/subject) together with the body (text and images) of the email in incident history, no matter how the images are embedded. To get the email header in text form, I must forward or reply to the email with the sole intention of copying the header and details in a single select/copy operation. Of course, I can open the email and copy the body with images before I forward/reply to it, paste the body into the incident log, then press forward/reply, select the header details and copy/paste that into the incident as well. It just doubles the number of steps required to carry it out. That is still shorter than snipping each image individually and pasting it into a copy of the forwarded email, but still more work that a single copy/paste operation.
It certainly would make life simpler if a new feature could be added to eMClient that would allow copying embedded images when in edit mode. For all the problems Outlook has (and there are many), that was one feature I used continuously. It may be that Outlook storing the images locally (??) is what caused its demise. It’s broken, so I cannot go back. eMClient is an excellent, feature-filled, highly customizable, agile email client. I am pleased with it and do not want to go back.
What is the eMClient process to submit a system improvement request? Or has this feature already been requested?
Thank you and kind regards,
Van
