What's new

  • Inline images in emails sent from Gmail, Outlook and other external providers are now displayed in place inside the message body instead of appearing broken.
  • Images shown inside the body are no longer listed again as attachments, and they don't count towards the attachment counter.
  • Inline images the body doesn't use are still available as regular attachments.
  • If an inline image can't be loaded, the rest of the email is still shown.

Depends on internxt/mail-server#151 and internxt/sdk#449

📝 Walkthrough

The mail preview now separates CID-referenced images from other attachments, downloads inline images, and replaces matching HTML sources with object URLs. The change also updates the SDK dependency and attachment test fixtures.

Changes: Inline mail images

Layer / File(s) Summary
Attachment data and CID classification
package.json, src/test-utils/fixtures.ts, src/components/compose-message/hooks/useInitialComposeState.test.ts, src/features/mail/components/mail-preview/utils/inline-images.ts
The SDK dependency range changes. Attachment fixtures include cid: null, and utilities normalize CID values and separate referenced inline images from other attachments.
Inline image download and rendering
src/features/mail/components/mail-preview/index.tsx, src/features/mail/components/mail-preview/preview/index.tsx, src/features/mail/components/mail-preview/utils/inline-images.ts, src/features/mail/components/mail-preview/utils/useInlineImages.ts, src/features/mail/components/mail-preview/index.test.tsx
PreviewMail passes inline images separately to Preview. Preview downloads inline images, substitutes available object URLs in the HTML, and revokes created URLs during cleanup. Tests cover CID matching, filtering, failures, data URLs, and cleanup.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 231b2

Some external-email images may fail to display, a non-image attachment may disappear from the download list, or an image may briefly break when mail changes. The change remains mergeable with these fixes tracked.

Resolve CID candidates in srcset.

getCidImages reads only src. For an image with both src="cid:logo" and srcset="cid:logo 2x", the attachment is removed from the downloadable files, but resolveInlineImages replaces only src. A browser can select the unresolved CID candidate and fail to display the image. An image with only a CID in srcset is not classified as inline and is not resolved.

Extend the utility to parse CID candidates in both attributes, replace resolved srcset candidates, and classify srcset-only references. Add a regression test that checks the rendered image with a CID srcset, not only its src attribute.

Keep non-image CID attachments downloadable.

If an email has <img src="cid:report"> and the matching attachment has type application/pdf, this predicate moves the PDF into inlineImages. The preview then removes its attachment chip and counts it as an image, although the PDF cannot serve as the body image. Require an image MIME type before classifying the attachment as an inline image.

Tie downloaded URLs to the mail and session key.

When mailId or attachmentsSessionKey changes, the hook can render the previous URL map once before the effect cleanup runs. Cleanup then revokes those URLs while the replacement download is pending. If the replacement download fails, the hook eventually stores an empty map and returns the original CID HTML, but the preview can show a broken image during the pending interval. Store and validate the mailId and session-key identity with each download result, or clear the downloaded state before starting the replacement download.
