Hi. I have a flow which sends an HTML formatted email. The flow works fine and images display in all new versions of Outlook and most email clients on mobile devices. I have an issue with images not displaying in Outlook 2013. There is no banner to download images, it just gives an error:
I am using Get File Content to get the file and then composing with base64 expression.
Is there a workaround to get images to display in older versions of Outlook?
I have read this and it doesn't work at all, not even in new versions of Outlook:

Sorry, my problem is not with this expression. It works and my email works fine. The only problem is that the images do not display in Outlook 2013. Should I try a public server first and how would my flow change to get the image and compose it?
That should work, but I you are using an incorrect expression above that:

(base64(outputs('Get_my_image')?['body']))
This is base64 encoding something that is already base64. Are you using the "Get file content using path" action? If so try an expression like this instead:
outputs('Get_my_image')?['$content']
Yes. If I place them on a public location, how does my flow change? I obviously don't use Get File Content from SharePoint. Also, does the compose expression change?
(base64(outputs('Get_my_image')?['body']))I responded to someone yesterday about a very similar question. Embedding images in email is not really straightforward and every client supports different things. Ideally it is best to have the image you want to display on a publicly accessible location on the internet, but many people want to use images that are stored within SharePoint.
Is the image that you are trying to display within SharePoint?
