Check out images and image tags. If emailing them in an HTML email though, you will need to use an absolute hyperlink.

What email program are you using? You can try outlook - and embedding that way but I really do not recommend it. It will take longer to download etc.

Email program is not important , important is to load the image in html like in binary or something. I just want not to fetch the image from somewhere it shoukd be embedded in the html code itself.

Thanks

Well Outlook Express offers a way to embed the images. Otherwise, you are asking for an HTML way and in the beginning but then you added the even after disconnecting - so that rules out absolute paths.

Depends on how you're trying to do it, but your mail composing program will need a way to send multipart/mime messages. The image is converted to base64 and the data sent by the mailer looks something like:

Hi,
I think “Sending HTML with Embedded Image in .NET” article on
http://aspalliance.com/1354_Sending_HTML_Mail_with_Embedded_Image_in_NET.all may be helpful in this discussion.

This popular white paper is written by a software engineer from our organization Mindfire Solutions (http://www.mindfiresolutions.com).

I hope you find it useful!

Cheers,
Byapti

Hi Byapti,

Thanks for your input.
Actually, its a very nice article & was very
informative too.

The problem is I cannot use .NET Sad

. My
Application is completely in VC++ & I have to
continue with it.

My requirement is, My application should send html
emails(which has some local images) via Outlook
Express, Windows Mail & MS Outlook(meaning I should
find the sent emails in 'Sent Items' folder of the
respective mail client).

I suceeded creating & sending html mail with
Embedded images for MS Outlook. Currently, stuck
with doing the same for Outlook Express & Windows
Mail.Can you please help me out.

Thanks
Shree

See RFC 2557. You can insert a image inside html using something like this:

<IMG SRC="data:image/gif;base64,RAAAtuhhx4dbgYKAAA7...more data....." ALT="Larry">
