Sending Emails

[Martin W]

Hello,

My application sends Emails using the SmtpMail class
and I am reading a HTML page which is then used as the
body for my email.Now this web page has got images also

How would I map the images to be sent as part of the
email.Do I use Server.MapPath

Thanks

Martin

The images are image tags with a URL indicating the location of the images.
Make the URLs absolute.

Hi,

Do you want to include the images in the email or just link them from the
message to a web server?

You only use Server.MapPath if you are attaching the images, if so you also
may have to parse the page in case that any image change or is
include/delete.

If you opt to just send the page and the images are stored on the website
you have to worry nothing at all of tihs.


Cheers,

Kevin,

pardon my ignorance but how do I make the URLs
absolute

 

[Adam Barker]

absolute paths are where you specify the fully qualified URL (usually)
beginning with http://...

relative paths are where the file is based on the calling page, for example
if an HTML file resides in http://www.test.com/imagetest and contains <img
src='images/myimages/picture.gif'>, the server will try to find the image at
http://www.test.com/imagetest/images/myimages/picture.gif

For images in HTML based e-mails, always include the full URL beginning with
http://...
