System.Net.Mail.MailMessage Inline Attachment

Hi johnywhite;

This shows how to insert an in line image  
<img src="c:\temp\myimage.gif" width=300 height=75>
into the body of an email message

Thanks;

The above text information was typed into a multiline text box in this example was called txtBody. The "<img src=" html tage identifies the image to be placed in the body of the text. The MailMessage IsBodyHtml property must be set to True. See test code below.

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
        ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        SendEmail(txtFrom.Text.Trim(), txtTo.Text.Trim(), _
            txtSubject.Text.Trim(), txtBody.Text)

    End Sub

    Private Sub SendEmail(ByVal sender As String, _
        ByVal recipient As String, ByVal subject As String, _
        ByVal body As String, Optional ByVal attachmentString As String = "")

        Dim fromAddress As New MailAddress(sender)
        Dim toAddress As New MailAddress(recipient)
        Dim message As New MailMessage(fromAddress, toAddress)

        Dim mailSender As SmtpClient

        ' This next line needs to be modified for your Smtp server
        mailSender = New SmtpClient("smtp-server.myServer.com", 25)

        message.Bcc.Add(fromAddress)
        message.Subject = subject
        message.IsBodyHtml = True
        message.Body = body

        If Not attachmentString = "" Then
            Dim msgAttach As New Attachment(attachmentString)
            message.Attachments.Add(msgAttach)
        End If

        Try
            mailSender.Send(message)
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error Mail Not Sent")
        End Try

    End Sub

I am not sure if this is what I was looking for.  What I want is the image to be an attachment on the email, and in the body of the email have it display that image.
