Background image in e-mail
I am creating an HTML e-mail that I am sending using vbSendMail (http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=109).
The body I am sending is something like:
<html>
<head><title>My Title</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" bgproperties="fixed">
<table border="0" width="900" background="c:\Rquant.jpg"
<tr>
<td width="100%" valign="top" height="324">
<p> </p>
<p><font size="5">Hi, </font></p>
<p><font size="5">This is my message.</font></p>
<p> </p>
</td>
</tr>
</table> </body> </html>
I now need to add a background image to this e-mail (the corporate logo). So I have added the BACKGROUND tag to my e-mail template and the path is somewhere on the server (redirected to c:\ for my test).
The problem occurs when I send this e-mail to someone that doesn't have access to the server, the background is not available.
How can I embed (instead of link) the background into my e-mail.

I already have my image UUEncoded in a text file if I need it but I did some text and I have problems with the NextPart_000_ ... I know that the digits that are following reprents date and time but can I simply replace it with random numbers? Can I copy this section directly after the </html>?

I found something. Not exactly what I wanted but it is working.
I first attach the image to my message (using the Attachment property) and I set my background tag to "cid:rquant.jpg" .

There are several base64 code/decode code at freevbcode (no pun intented). Maybe this could be a start.
