Embedded Image in HTML Email Using <IMG SRC="cid:My-Image

[Guest]

I am trying to produce an html email that uses embedded images instead of
linked images. Many websites mention the code for example: <img
src="cid:[email protected]" />. Others mention MHTML

How do I make this work. Do I need some add in program. I am using Outlook
2003.

I have no problem with regular html email with linked images. Help from
anyone with experience of embedded images would be appreciated.

Use Word as your mail editor, compose in HTML, and use Insert>Picture to
embed the image.

Brian,

Thanks for your help. That certainly does it. When I view the source code,
The images all show the <img src="Cid:..........

However, when I send a test email, it arrives with the paperclip symbol for
an attachment. When you open the email, there is no attachment. How do I stop
the paperclip showing against the incomming message for the recipient

I can't answer this because I NEVER send messages in anything by Plain Text.
I attach pictures if I need to send them or create a Word document to attach
if I have to annotate the pictures.

I recommend not embedding pictures as your mail might be quarantined.
Instead, link to web picture using absolute URLs.
