Many people still like plain-text email. Most (perhaps all) email
clients disable all active content, especially JavaScript. Not all
CSS works in clients either. There are two reasons for this.<br>
1) Not all email clients are keeping up with browsers regarding the
current standards level. Of course, this does not apply for webmail
(e.g., GMail)<br>
2) Security. An active client can communicate back to the server
informing the server that the person has read the email and
potentially interacted with it. Most email clients won't load
content that is not in the email for the same reason. Until we are
ready to address those issues (keeping the recipient safe and
somewhat anonymous) the Consortium should not be trying to make this
happen. There are players far larger than we could ever imagine that
are fighting this battle for just 2D content. <br>
<br>
It would be best to use Don's recommendations of putting links in an
email from screen shots (or equivalent).<br>

<br>
<br>
Examples attached for current/future testing.
<br>
<br>
Note that current incarnation of Cobweb only uses url/src to load
an external X3D scene. Variations between X3DOM and Cobweb are
both great for experimentation/testing and also future topics for
harmonization/alignment.
<br>
<br>
Since X3D is embedded within HTML, mail attachments can work with
X3DOM if allowed by a user's permissions for mail client. Perhaps
we will also need Web3D.org as a "trusted" site for Cobweb and
X3DOM .js/.css libraries to be allowed within enterprise IT
systems.
<br>
<br>
We'll also have to get much smarter and more effective on Cross
Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) if we want to enable cross-linked
content.
<br>
<br>
Sounds like this topic is far-enough along for its own page on the
website...
<br>
<br>
all the best, Don
