Send email and show a BELL on them

[Steve Drake]

All,

Sorry if this is the wrong group, but I could not find a good group for this
question, so I chose a busy developer group.

When you receive an alert from SHAREPOINT, the ICON shows a BELL on it, I
want to-do the same when sending an email from .NET.

Sharepoint does use SMTP to send, the same as .NET does (with
system.web.mail), I have tried to add the correct headers :

X-AlertWebUrl:
X-AlertTitle:
X-AlertId:
X-AlertServerType:
X-AlertWebSoap:

but I don't get a BELL icon, has anyone done this.

I dont know how SPS does this - but I would guess it either mime encodes the
message before sending it and includes the image as part of the message
part, or simply includes an HTML image tag reference to an image located on
the initiating server and make the message an HTML message. The second
option is by far the easier to implement.

SPS (both 2001 and 2003) is at microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver for
future reference.

It is also a busy newsgroup :)
