MHTML Features
Chilkat Mail makes it easy to send and receive HTML
formatted emails with embedded, internally referenced images.
The standard way of doing this is to format emails using a MIME
content type called "multipart/related". Chilkat Mail
does this for you, and you don't have to know anything about the
structure of "multipart/related" MIME messages. (For
those that do, Chilkat Mail does handle "multipart/alternative"
messages contained within "multipart/related". If fact,
ChilkatMail can handle messages of any complexity.)
Sending a HTML email with an image:
Here is an example of creating and sending an email
that has an HTML body, and references an internal image.
' The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
Dim mailman As New ChilkatMailMan2
' Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
Dim success As Integer
success = mailman.UnlockComponent("30-day trial")
If (success <> 1) Then
MsgBox "Component unlock failed"
Exit Sub
End If
' Set the SMTP server.
mailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.comcast.net"
' Create a new email object
Dim email As New ChilkatEmail2
' Add an embedded image to the HTML email.
Dim fileOnDisk As String
fileOnDisk = "images/dude2.gif"
Dim filePathInHtml As String
filePathInHtml = "something/dudeAbc.gif"
' Embed the GIF image in the email.
success = email.AddRelatedFile2(fileOnDisk,filePathInHtml)
If (success <> 1) Then
MsgBox email.LastErrorText
Exit Sub
End If
' The src attribute for the image tag is set to the filePathInHtml:
Dim htmlBody As String
htmlBody = "<html><body>Embedded Image:<br><img src=""something/dudeAbc.gif""></body></html>"
' Set the basic email stuff: HTML body, subject, "from", "to"
email.SetHtmlBody htmlBody
email.Subject = "Visual Basic HTML email with an embedded image."
email.AddTo "Admin","admin@chilkatsoft.com"
email.From = "Chilkat Support <support@chilkatsoft.com>"
success = mailman.SendEmail(email)
If (success <> 1) Then
MsgBox mailman.LastErrorText
Else
MsgBox "Mail Sent!"
End If
