export to e-mail

I _think_ you could just tack on a fake e-mail header to an existing HTML export.

Subject: [copy from title tag]
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8BIT
Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8"
[and in the HTML, place this in <head>]:
<meta name="X-UA-Compatible" content="edge" />

to avoid needing to re-encode (quoted-printable is sooo 1987)

IE is still the default e-mail viewer on Windows (Outlook, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, etc.)

Aside from that, the rest of the envelope is up to you.

So we would be able to save images that are full sized using MHTML? I would love to see this feature implemented :)

Just found this tool and it works pretty well, but I am wondering if progress has been made toward this issue?

Not really but there's a workaround explained here: https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/issues/21#issuecomment-348706551

This is one of the most important features this exporter should have, as I'm pretty sure when messages are deleted their attachments are purged from Discord's servers too.

Any progress on this one?

I started working on this area and decided that MHTML as an additional format will not be available. Instead, self-contained export will be an option for all formats and will download accompanying media along with the chat log (albeit as separate files, akin to how e.g. Chrome does it).

For that reason, this issue is closed in favor of #21 with the latter extending in scope to other formats, not just HTML.

By the way, this was the first and, as such, the oldest issue ever for this project! It's also the issue that has been open the longest, almost 3 full years.
