I’ve got a single user who loves email replies to our closed forum. Unfortunately, every single time that this user emails in a reply, it seems to include a small white image with a name like ~WRD000.jpg. It doesn’t seem to be part of their email signature, and I can’t see it when they email me dir…

No they don’t unfortunately - except the alt text. As they all seem to have similar odd names, they maybe could be caught with a clever use of wildcards. And it is so! Success - thanks for the suggestion: .cooked img[alt*="~WRD"] { display: none !important; }

As a workaround… Do these blank pictures share a common HTML attribute on all the messages? If they do, you could hide them with CSS, though they’d pop up in quotes (among other screens/actions, I believe).

[image] Nathan Kershaw: I’m happy to PM the raw email if need be. I’d be happy to have a quick look if you could PM me a couple of those emails :+1:

Done, PM’d to you here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/re-unwanted-white-image-email-attachments-from-one-user/274740

The same is an ongoing issue for me, as well, albeit from several users of Outlook or outlook.com.
