Sending graphics attachment to an HTML attachment

I would like to embed a graphic in an HTML file. The file does a IMG SCR=xxxxxx.xxx where xxxxxx.xxx is the name of a .JPG file that is also sent as an attachment. The problem is that I believe the path to the graphics attachment needs to be properly specified and if it is only sent as an attachment you do not know where that file is going to reside. I hope this makes sense.

Thanks
Pete
 
Outlook writes HTML code differently for images then what you are used to with typical HTML code. You will not see an absolute path for inserted graphics in an Outlook HTML message. It is somewhat proprietary.

Also because of this anyone who receives the image as an inserted graphic will not be able to save the image as well unless it is attached as a file to the message. joegz

Thanks for your help. I guess I didn't explain very well. I am not doing anything with HTML in Outlook, but I do the following: Using MAPI I set up an email with Attachment A containing an HTML file and Attachment B containing a JPEG file. In Attachment A I generate an IMG statement referencing Attachment B. I don't believe this works unless the statement in Attachment A specifies a valid full path to the JPEG Attachment B. I do not want the users to have to save the files but just be able to open Attachment A and see the Attachment B graphic in it.

Thanks again
Pete
