Display images in HTML email

[jdeponte]

Hi,

from Oracle DB, using UTL_SMTP and HTML I am sending emails to customers, it works OK but my problem is that when include images (with IMG tag referencind a URL) these do not show when email is open (show typical box with a red 'X' in it, they are display only using mouse right button) , Is there any option to do it??? in HTML? .. I mean I would like to copy the image directly in HTML code or Other options?

Thanks in advance.

1) Are the images where you point the src.

2) When you view the email through Outlook/Express above the content, but below the to: and from: fields is there an box that say's something like "can't view images? click here to unblock" (or something). Click it and images might appear.

Just a couple of stabs in the dark.

There are two ways to handle images with HTML emails.

You can link to them from a web site. This is easy to code but most email programs block them in order to prevent spam from logging email addresses when the email loads 1x1 pixel images from the spammers site.

You can embed the image in the email itself using multipart MIME processing and base64 encoding for the image. In this case the images will always display because they are in the email itself.

Which of these two methods is used depends on how you create the email.

Apologies for picking up this older thread, but it came up in results from our friend Mr Google. Stephen, I've been trying to get this one cracked for a long while, how do you create a multipart MIME processing and base64 encoding in an email please ? Is this possible using Oulook ?
Any help much appreciated.
