SSRS report graph is working fine in outlook but it is not working in gmail and thunderbird

The ssrs reports is not showing any graphs in the thunderbird and gmail. But it works in the outlook without any problem. The graphs sent comes as an attachment and there is a rectangular box in the place of the graphs.

Solution

  • SSRS report sends email in different format and I believe you are talking about sending it as mhtml. Thunderbird doesn't support the viewing of mhtml format in its client, rather sends it as an attachment that you can view with add-ons. Gmail should open it though.

    1. You can send it as alternative format in SSRS itself
    2. You can parse the data and send it as HTML
    3. There is an perl script called unmht that you can use.

    Hope this helps :)
