add website icons (favicons?) in mails

EricDeWaal

Hi,

Does anyone know how to add icons (favicons?) to the mails so that they show up in an email client like Bluemal?
See the attached image, [upl-image-preview url=https://forum.acymailing.com/assets/files/2021-09-02/1630590623-397022-screenshot-20210902-153719.jpeg]
Waht I am looking for are those of Binck, Paypal, iBood, Uptime Robot.
When we send mails from Acymailing they always show up with one or 2 letters like the first mail in the example (AV)

Best,
Eric

You can't

Those icons are feature of email client, which recognize some well know services and replace their icons on the fly

Thanks for the answer. Makes you wonder though, why Bluemail for Android does not insert the Google, One.com nor the Stack Overflow icons. One would say those should be more than well-known ...
Anyway, if we can't do it ourselves it stops there.

It seems that there is a way, after all, but to be honest, I don't know how to achieve this in Acymailing

Well, in Acymailing there is an Add-on Custom Headers: https://docs.acymailing.com/addons/all-cms-add-ons/custom-headers
I installed it and it works; I can see the in header that I added in the add-on: X-Image-Url: https:/www/mydomain.com/favicon.png
But it does not work. I also tried image/x-icon as in your link; no result either.
