@xte what email client are you using, is it opening Text or HTML emails?
Generally I don’t think that we will be able to MIME-embed the images as it would require to change Discouse. If you really want this feature then it’s best to talk upstream at https://meta.discourse.org/

notmuch-emacs, normally it render mime/html properly with shr, but
your suspicions are right: if I open the hidden html/mime part I
see a working link… My config problem then…
Sorry, I do not take a look carefully enough before posting
Well, if it could send the correct link in the text/plain it’d still be better, I think (hit the same issue, and I don’t really plan on asking my email client to parse HTML)
Agreed, I had glossed over the fact that the URL is actually not pointing to the actual image.
I think the purpose was to be able to dynamically replace those URLs. For example if the assets are stored on S3 and you want to avoid third-party linking this allows to generate signed URLs with an expiration.
