Using Oracle Email Marketing On Demand > Designing the Email Message Body >
Inserting Images in Email Content
You can add a graphic image to the body of your email. The image must exist in the email marketing library on your computer, or on a network folder available to your computer, and must be in GIF or JPG format.
NOTE: Folder names must not contain spaces.
There is no limit on image file size. However, because file size affects the time it takes for an image to render for the recipient, and contributes to your Marketing Library storage, it is recommended that you keep image sizes low. For information on Marketing Library storage, see Viewing Email Marketing Library Usage.
NOTE: Oracle Email Marketing On Demand only supports GIF and JPG format image files. If you try to insert an unsupported file type, an error message appears, and you cannot insert the image.
