Description
It would be a great addition to support the SVG image format in HTML emails. It's useful for example to display dense graphs, that can be zoomed without losing quality compared to traditional raster image formats like PNG.
Example of email clients that support it :
- Aqua Mail (Android)
- Thunderbird (desktop)
I know the following client do NOT support it:
- Gmail (webmail)
- Gmail (android)

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the HTML email rendering path and checking how embedded image data is handled; done means SVG data is supported for compatible email clients without changing behavior for clients that do not support it.
