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
[ Reply ]
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

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.

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.

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?

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

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,

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 :)

The way I do it
[ Reply ]
I have found the best way of doing this is to avoid using the .net framework, and use COM cdosys.dll
string email = "somebody@somewhere.com";
CDO.Message mm = new CDO.MessageClass();
mm.To = email;
mm.From = "someoneelse@somewhere.com";
mm.Subject = "Test Email";
mm.HTMLBody = "Picture 1: <img src='image001.jpg';
mm.AddRelatedBodyPart(@"C:\share\image001.jpg","image001.jpg", CDO.CdoReferenceType.cdoRefTypeLocation, null, null);
CDO.Configuration objConfig = new CDO.ConfigurationClass();
objConfig.Fields["cdoSendUsingMethod"].Value = CDO.CdoSendUsing.cdoSendUsingPort;
objConfig.Fields["cdoSMTPServer"].Value = "MYSMTPSERVER" ;
objConfig.Fields["cdoSMTPServerPort"].Value = 25 ;
objConfig.Fields["cdoSMTPAuthenticate"].Value = CDO.CdoProtocolsAuthentication.cdoBasic;
objConfig.Fields.Update();
mm.Configuration = objConfig;
mm.Send();

Nope, here's the way to do it
[ Reply ]
Just a small and buggy function that I wrote. I'll embedd images just like Outlook does, using a cid.
public static MailMessage AttachImages(MailMessage message)
{
if (!message.IsBodyHtml)
throw new ApplicationException("Message formart needs to be HTML");
Regex reg = new Regex("src[^>]*[^/].(?:jpg|bmp|gif)(?:\"|\')");
MailMessage messageOut = message;
foreach (Match match in reg.Matches(message.Body))
{
string cid = Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N");
Stream srcStream;
string src = match.Value;
src = src.Replace("src=", "");
src = src.Replace("\"", "");
if (src.StartsWith("http://"))
{
WebRequest request = HttpWebRequest.Create(src);
srcStream = request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream();
}
else
{
srcStream = new MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes(src));
}
Attachment newAttachment = new Attachment(srcStream, "image/" + Path.GetExtension(src).ToLower().Replace(".", ""));
newAttachment.ContentId = cid;
messageOut.Attachments.Add(newAttachment);
messageOut.Body = messageOut.Body.Replace(src, "cid:" + cid);
}
return messageOut;
}

Not only is this a 2.0 solution (uses System.Net.Mail), you'd probably be better off using LinkedResource rather than Attachment objects.

How to embed an image in e-mail with Asp.NET 2.0
[ Reply ]
1. Add your images as attachments to the e-mail message (MailMessage.Attachments).
2. Set the ContentId property to some unique value for each attached image you want to reference in the e-mail body.
3. Refer to the attached images in the body (HTML) using the unique ContentId in the following format: <img src="cid:ContentID"/>
4. Send the message and it should work.

embedding an image
[ Reply ]
I was able to embed an image using the above suggestions....But now i have one more problem...
The image i am getting is from a referrer's page...and that image is dependent on what was selected...so my image is somewhat not fix...so how will i get the exact image that is being shown/ displayed from the referring page...becuase right now, what was embedded is a fix image...example: "<img src='http://www.mysite.com/images/myImage1.gif'/>"
What i need to show is if teh image being displayed in the referreing page is myImage2052.gif...then i need to show it...not myImage1.gif...
The images can be more than a million images...so how can i get teh right and exact image and embed it properly in my email?

' Inline Attachment IMG1
Dim img1 As New LinkedResource(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("images/image.gif"))
img1.ContentId = "IMG1"
img1.ContentType = New ContentType("image/jpeg")
htmlView.LinkedResources.Add(img1)
