Favicon - Does anyone include them for browser view of emails?

Hi,

I've started to use a favicon in our emails using the below code. Noting major although it does add a nice touch to the email for very little effort.

Is there any particular reason why very few people use this?

 <head>
<link rel="Shortcut Icon" type="image/x-icon" href="http://www.norgren.com/imiAssets/img/icons/favicon-32x32.png" />
</head>

Thanks

Chris

I do.

I think it's better brand experience.

It doesn't hurt to add them, so why not?

I didn't even think it was possible, in the sense that adding a favicon did anything to an email. Good to know!

I do, like to think it's a little easter egg, shows you've thought about the details

Great, I was hoping there were no known issues using it. Thanks everyone!

No I have not tried this in my browser yet!
