Not receiving the $message variable in view from a Laravel HTML Mailable (NON Markdown)

Well, to be honest, I haven't found a way to make this work properly. I mean, as it stands, this should work. Maybe is my Laravel installation (?)..

Anyway, I did make it work with a workaround.

1) Using Eduardokum' Laravel Mail Auto Embed package, this basically generate a CID for each of your media assets.

But after adding this package this didn't work as expected.. so I:

2) change the way I was referencing my assets, from this:

   <img src="{{ url("storage/inline_image.png") }}" />

To this:

   <img src="{{ asset("storage/inline_image.png") }}" />

Now it works.
