Someone asked recently about sending html emails from vb. Oopadelic do a control to do this, works fine.
However (there is always a however), I can't see how to embed images. I can insert an image into the html ok. The problem with this is has to linked to a web site which means that modem users will find themselves redialling everytime they click on the email. Irritating. If you look at an Outlook Express html mail with an embedded image, it has some made up reference like
<BODY background=3Dcid:003101c1fd6f$ff6faab0$0200005a@myhost.com>
and an encoded version of the piccy at the end like
------=_NextPart_000_0032_01C1FD78.613A2D30

Does anyone have any references on how to go about replicating this from VB?
