Thx for the tip.

Didn't realize this. Very helpful to know.

I use the following workaround for this to get both images and CSS in the email:

• Add self-contained: no to the output options of the RMarkdown file

• Include the CSS in your file using something like this:

  ```{r css, echo=FALSE, results = 'asis'}
  cat('<style>')
  cat(read_file('style.css'))
  cat('</style>')

• Pass inline = TRUE to mailR::send.mail when sending the email
