MailMessage - including graphics

[Bijoy Naick]

I'm using the MailMessage and SmtpMail classes to send HTML emails from my
website. Just wondering if there is a way to include graphics with the
email, which I can reference in the HTML.

<img src="http://yourdomain.com/images/someImage.jpg">

If you use an absolute reference, it will fetch the image from your server.

But what if i want to include the graphic files in the email.. so that
people that view their email offline will also be able to view the
graphics..

That tends to be a bad idea because of the size of the email when
including graphics. Using an absolute reference is pretty standard and
performs much better than embedded images. Do you have a definite need
for including the images or is it a preference issue?

I've done quite a few HTML emails in the past, and I've always used abs
reference.. However, in this case, there is a need for it.

Just wondering if there's a way of doing that in .NET

Sorry Bijoy, I'm not real familiar with embedding the images into the
email.
