[AccessD] A2003:Embedded Image in HTML

Hi Darren,
Not sure if I am picking this up correctly (I have been away) and just
picked up on the tail end.
I regularly send out html emails with graphics in them.
Can you send me an email off-line restating what you are trying to do and I
will see if what I do can fit in with your requirements.
I have also successfully used the CID and will try to dig some examples out.

Max

You can't set it in HTML.
 
Your HTML is in one part of a multipart message. The data pointed to by the
cid is in 
another, completely separate part of the message, with its own Content-Type,
Content_ID 
etc headers.  The image data will need to be encoded for email transport as
well, probably 
using Base64 encoding.

Basically, you are going to have to construct the whole message yourself
including standard 
and MIME headers, boundaries,encoding etc and then come up with your own
MAPI or 
SMTP transport to despatch the message.
 
Before you do that you are going to have to be very familiar with the basic
standards for all 
internet mail contained in RFC 822 and then go on  RFCs 2046 and  2111 for a
start and get 
an understanding of how a multipart MIME message is structured.

You will probably also need to be familiar with RFCs 2045, 2047, 2049,
4288, and 4289 
among others.

Note:

RFC = "Request For Comments"  = a memorandum published by the Internet
Engineering 
Task Force (IETF) describing methods, behaviors, research, or innovations
applicable to the 
working of the Internet and Internet-connected systems.  Many RFCs including
the ones 
listed above are adopted byt the IETF as "Internet Standards"

Have fun :-)
