System.Web.Mail

[Guest]

Hi,

I build up a string for the body of my email.

I also want to display an image within the email itself(not as a background
image) at any place in the email.

This seems simple but I am unable to do it.

I am using .NET 1.1

Anyone?

the simplest way to do this is to send your message in HTML format and
reference images on the Internet. make sure to use the absolute HTTP path
to the image in your IMG tag.

post your code if you need more help

I have had *some* luck (there are a lot of e-mail clients out there,
including web-based) with the following:
* add the images as attachment to the message.
* use <img> tags in the message, with the src-attribute pointing to the
filename (no path, no protocol) of the attached image.

I agree.

Send an html email, and have the image on a webserver somewhere.

For 2.0, html email is simple. There's a boolean property.

For 1.1, check my blog at:
