Hi,

I am not sure if this is an ASP issue but I write my codes with ASP. I am sending a reservation information email to my clients using CDOSYS in HTML format and I want my clients to print out the email with the logo on it. When I show the URL as a src in email codes most of the providers block the pictures.

Does adding the logo as an attachment help showing the logo direct in the email?
If yes could you send me an example of codes to add it to the email?

Thanks

try this:

Const CdoReferenceTypeName = 1
Dim objCDO, objBP
Set objCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objCDO.MimeFormatted = True
objCDO.To = "you@yourdomain.com"
objCDO.From = "you@yourdomain.com"
objCDO.Subject = "Embedded image demo"
objCDO.HTMLBody = "<html>Check this out: <img src=""cid:myimage.gif""></html>"

' Here's the good part, thanks to some little-known members.
' This is a BodyPart object, which represents a new part of the multipart MIME-formatted message.
' Note you can provide an image of ANY name as the source, and the second parameter essentially
' renames it to anything you want. Great for giving sensible names to dynamically-generated images.
Set objBP = objCDO.AddRelatedBodyPart(Server.MapPath("/images/myimage.gif"), "myimage.gif", CdoReferenceTypeName)

' Now assign a MIME Content ID to the image body part.
' This is the key that was so hard to find, which makes it
' work in mail readers like Yahoo webmail & others that don't
' recognise the default way Microsoft adds it's part id's,
' leading to "broken" images in those readers. Note the
' < and > surrounding the arbitrary id string. This is what
' lets you have SRC="cid:myimage.gif" in the IMG tag.
objBP.Fields.Item("urn:schemas:mailheader:Content-ID") = "<myimage.gif>"
objBP.Fields.Update

objCDO.Send
