Hello, I created a drawing for work which I attached to an email to send it to my boss. However there is a red icon on it and when I click on it it says "Access to this attachment is blocked. Recipients may not be able to view the attachment either." Is there somewhere where I can edit the permission settings so that I can send all my drawings over email? Many thanks.
Inkscape svg files are XML and corporate email systems may block direct attachments.
If you simply need feedback and discussion, I would save a copy as pdf and send that.
If the original svg file needs to be sent, I would send the file in a compressed container e.g."zip file". Recipients will need to download and open the compressed file to view the original file.
This is most likely due to your company's email security protecting the recipient from malicious attachments. This is a cautious policy, but not completely paranoid since web browsers can execute javascript embedded within svg files.
Your emails are probably filtered through a whitelist system that identifies senders or file types or some other criteria and rejects all other content. You could ask the email admin to add svg files to this list.
Alternatively save your Inkscape file as a pdf and send that instead. These are normally whitelisted because they're ubiquitous, even though it's far easier to embed executable content than in svg.

Does your drawing make use of mesh gradients or SVG2 hatches?
I don't think so, it is a pretty simple rectangle and 3D boxes drawing.

I see, thank you for the help :)
