Send Mail with inline images?

[Christoph B.]

Hey,

I've got the following problem:
I have got a complete html page with inline CSS and images (with remote
urls) that I want to send as a html email.

So what I need to do is:

1. loop through img tags, extract url
2. attach image, fetch cid
3. change img src to cid:<contentid>

Can anyone tell me what to use for this? I need something that
returns the content id after I attach an image, so I can change it in
the html.

Thanks in advance,
Christoph

I can't give you a full solution, but to inline the image you can do
this:

require 'base64'

fn = '/path/to/image.png'
src = "data:image/png;base64,#{Base64.encode64(File.read(fn))}"
new_tag = "<img src='#{src}'>"

Assuming you attach an 'image/png' file.
