The problem is I don't want to link to the image, I specifically want it
embedded in the mail message itsself so that, for example, someone with
no web access can view the complete message.

If you use CDOEX (CDO for Exchange 2000)/CDOSYS (CDO for Windows
2000/.NET) you can use the CreateHTMLBody method of the CDO.Message
object which will and the whole HTML page and automatically embed the
images.

I don't believe there is an easy way to do this. The most reliable way to
do this is to use a 3rd party component.

The www.aspNetEmail.com component has the EmailMessage.EmbedImage() method
to do this for you.

I'm assuming you have to Interop this?

Haven't seen it done before with .NET.

thanks,
dave

Correct. Those are COM components which offer way more features than the
built-in System.Web.Mail. Sorry that I didn't mention that in my
previous post.

Issue has been resolved.

As a matter of interest, using CDO, you get the same problem, but
aspNetEmail works beatifully.

Problem was specifically with web-based e-mail clients such as yahoo.
The messages were coming through without the embedded images. With CDO,
yahoo was stripping them out and displaying them as attachments, instead
of in-line where they belonged.

Tested it an it still doesn't display the images in-line when you send
the message to a web-based account like yahoo, or, locally, webmail.

Only thing that seems to work consistently is aspnetmail.
