Html charts in email without using javascript
I'm looking for nice charts for my newsletter. Since javascript is not email friendly I need an html only solution.
I'll send email once a month with statistics of user's performance and stuff done during the month.
So what do you think is the best solution? Can I found some nice basic html charts where I can change little in my back-end with user's data?
I know with JS it would be easy, but is not my case. I'll send both to mobile and desktop.
Thank you very very much!!

A little late to the game here, but my team at Ramen recently spun out some internal functionality into a standalone product that does just this: https://ChartURL.com
You can generate charts on the fly using an "Encrypted URL" scheme, or you can send us huge amounts of data and return a Short URL that'll resolve to an image. These URLs can be used in web apps & mobile apps, but the original intent was email charts so I hope this helps!
