SmtpMail - inline images

Hi,
I know how to use SmtpMail to create and send a mail
message in text or HTML format. I always use the URL to
the location of images on the server to include those
images in my mail body.

However, recently I was asked if it is possible to use
inline images, included (as attachments?) in the mail
message instead of using the URL to the images. I believe
it's not simply a matter of creating a MailAttachment
object and add it to the MailMessage object, because I
want the images to be shown inline in the body.

If somebody knows how to do this ...

Cant you use the IMG SRC in the HTML body with file:\\ blah or some other
reference to the atttachment.

You may be talking about MHTML, which is a type of html broken into mime
parts that can contain other files that can be referenced in the <img> tag.
I've used it before and it works for compositied files of any kind
really(you'll see office and other apps pump them out as well)

http://www.dsv.su.se/~jpalme/ietf/mhtml.html should tell you what you need
to know, but if not, just search google for MHTML.

Hi all, I did make a script/css thing to replace the contextmenu on the website with a new one: http://www.djwice.com/contextmenu.html It works nice in MSIE, but on Netscape (and probable other browsers) it stays on the same place (does not "open'' where the mouse is). And the links do not work when you click on them. If anyone has sugestions on how to improve it, please let me know.

Hi, I'm trying to use style sheets instead of tables for layout, but I'm not sure on how to do something... I have a div (100% width) containing 3 other divs. Each needs to be lined up next to one another inside the first div. Whenever I nest these divs inside the first, it always treats each of them like a block element and puts them on the next line down. If I try to define 'block: inline' for each of them, the ones without images...

Hello, I'm trying to send an email message using c#'s SmtpMail class. Everything, including attachments, is working properly. My problem is this: I need to assign a content id to one of the parts of the multipart email, for example, in order to show an embedded image: <img src=cid:xxxx>. How can I assign a content ID in c#?

I am seeking to hand-roll my own blog in ASP.NET 2.0 and SQLExpress 2005. Why? Because I can. Because I will gain experience. The one thing that has me stumped at square one is inline images. That is, images inline with the actual content of the blog itself. Is there an example that I can be pointed to, where I can examine some code and figure out how to do this? Frankly I haven't got a clue, aside from breaking the content up into...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
