Embed images in Email
[ Reply ]
I have done this so that an email is sent from a web site and an image from the website is embedded in the actual email (still shows as attachment obviously)
...
msg.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;
msg.Body = "<IMG SRC=\"cmsm1_multi.gif\">"; //only name of image file
msg.Body += "Any other stuff for body";
...
MailAttachment imgObj = new MailAttachment(Server.MapPath("/") + "web/images/cmsm1_multi.gif"); //actual location of image file
msg.Attachments.Add(imgObj);
... //send the message

RE: Embed images in Email

yeah, but send yourself the email, but don't look at it. Make sure it is downloaded to your client (outlook or outlook express).
Disconnect from the internet. While in offline mode, you will the image is broken. Sure the image is attached, but it's not embedded. Embedded images are where you can view the images, while in offline mode. No additional requests are made to the webserver.
You have to make sure you don't first view the image, because some clients will download the image and cache it.
hth,
Dave

By this way, the image is not embedded in the mail body but, it still goes with the mail as an attachment. So the recipient will be able to see the image in offline mode. This is the best way to send mails including images with System.Web.Mail if you are not using a third party product.

That isn't any method on the MailMessage class, either in 1.1 or 2.0. What library are you using?

Even though images do show up in Outlook Express, they won't for Gmail. Anyway, thanks! It is better than none.

Hi All,
Use CDOSYS to embed images in the mail.
User CreateHTML method.
Search google for CDOSYS C#.
CDOSYS is designed and developed from scratch. .NET uses CDOSYS.

I'm assuming you read the above faq, so you need a 3rd party component.
Check out my component: aspNetEmail

RE: RE RE: embedding images

well, in my case (and I'm sure the others), I wrote it from the ground up. aspNetEmail does not depend upon System.Web.Mail. Thus, I control what options I want to give the end developer for formatting their email message.
Cheers!

Download the try version of aspNetEmail and than use reflector by Lutz Roeder. If this guy is not willing to give you a head start.

Don't take it the wrong way, but be grateful for all free instruction and help Dave's already providing through this site.
Dave's has a commercial product that fills a market need that System.Web.Mail doesn't address. If I'd gone through the effort to create, market, sell, and support a commercial product to meet such a need, and someone said "can't you just tell me how to create your product?", I'd politely decline the offer as well.

RE: RE RE: embedding images

if you want to use a COM object it's too easy add a reference to CDOSYS.dll. Look at ..\system32 folder of your OS.
Why download third parts COM objects?
ps: sorry for the language, i'm italian :-)

It IS possible, Just Use an RTF encoded email
[ Reply ]
Clearly you can create mime bodies with system.web.mail (although it isn't obvious) and if you render a message (including pictures) in rtf and then make rtf the message body, the images go along for the ride.
so it IS possible. Would love to see an example of someone who has send an RTF body message (NOT AN ATTACHMENT, but as the actual body)
good hunting

RE: It IS possible, Just Use an RTF encoded email
[ Reply ]
So does anyone have a simple example of how to do this? I'm on a Mac. I have a very simple html doc with 1 image in it. Are there any tools to take my html and convert it to a sendable email format?
Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm on a deadline.
Thanks,
rich!

Create your htm doc
Open Outlook Express (as far as I know it can't be done in Outlook) , create a new mail
Go to tools and "insert text from file"
Select your html doc
When the html loads up right click on the image, or where the image should be, and select properties.
browse to Select the image from your hard drive
Repeat for all images.
Send the baby off :)
