Embed image using HTML for Gmail

[cbh35711]

Greetings all,

I'm trying to embed an image into an email being sent through Gmail. From looking at the other posts several folks have used this to send it through outlook, but i haven't seen anything specific about Gmail.

See a snip of my code below.

strAttachment2 = "path/test.JPG"   
' Build HTML for message body
strHTML = strHTML & "<br><img src='cid:test.JPG'></br>"

I've tried using the full path after cid:, no "cid:" at all, not attaching the image and saving the image on a network folder. The best i've ever gotten in the gmail i receive is a broken image picture in the email.

Any ideas what i might be doing wrong?

Thanks all!

As far as I'm aware that method is for Outlook and as well as the HTML you need to attach the image to the email.

Can you post the rest of the code?

Norie,

I tried including all of the code the first time, but some odd error "Block reason: Your request was not authorized due to its content (HTML code not allowed)." I've attached the code in a file.


Below are the two lines i think are relevant

strAttachment2 = "path/test.JPG"
strHTML = strHTML & "<br><img src='test.JPG'></br>"

The attachment shows up, but the embedded element shows a broken image pic.

Many thanks for your help!

Can you post the code instead of an attachment?

I can't!
