sending image thru email + CDO

[dave]

Hi
I'm using CDO message to send email thru asp code.
Below is sample code...

body = body & "<tr><td colspan=2><img
src=images/contacts_5.jpg></td></tr>"

I'm just confused why its not showing images in email
body? It just shows red cross mark in mail body...

Any help would be appreciated...
Thanx

Source must be something like this:

<IMG SRC='http://your_domain/site_name/images/contacts_5.jpg'>

Remember it's an email the full path is unknown.

(a) the e-mail client has no idea where images/contacts5.jpg is. Try
putting that image tag in a file on your desktop. Do you think the browser
can read your mind, and know that you meant
http://www.yoursite.com/images/contacts5.jpg? Of course not. You have to
tell it where to find the image.

(b) many e-mail clients show red x's because the default setting is to NOT
download images from the web, because these are often used to transmit
confirmation back to sniffers. (And further still, many people have
disabled HTML e-mail altogether ... e.g. me.)

(c) to avoid the whole web bug issue see http://www.aspfaq.com/2474 for
instructions on embedding an image into an e-mail, rather than using links.
