| Description | Ability to add attachments.
You can currently do this via "send out issue" on a news item, or get images via WYSIWYG for existing URLs, or by doing a "new content" newsletter -- but it's not 100% ideal. |
| Steps to reproduce | |
| Additional information | This is a bit tricky. We'd need to take them in, rewrite the newsletter Comcode, and make sure the rewritten Comcode is what would go into the newsletter form if going back to make further changes. We'd also want to cleanup after we're done, but not before the newsletter had potentially come out of a CRON queue. We'd also need to ensure that no permission issues stopped the attachments coming through (as there'd be no saved content to be permission-checked to know if the attachments were legitimately accessible or not - which is the normal attachment permissions process). Additionally, for plain-text newsletters, we'd need to make sure weird things didn't happen.
Given all this, I think not supporting them and asking people to use "send out issue" is the best thing for now. |

However I didn't anticipate it would be this much work to add the feature. So for now I'll ask them to upload the image to another place and get it through WYSIWYG
