Hi,

I want to reconstitute a message from another client (Eudora,
GroupWise) to Outlook. The original message contains a embedded image
inside the message body. See below the message source in Outlook.

The body has the reference of "cid:ZYXXIKOOYRKF.home.gif". However, I
can not see any attachments. Is it a system/hidden attachments?

I need to reconstitute this message. How can I add the embedded image
inside the body?

---------------------------------------------
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<META content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.16544" name=GENERATOR></HEAD>
<BODY style="MARGIN: 4px 4px 1px; FONT: 10pt Tahoma">
<DIV>Test message.</DIV>
<DIV><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:ZYXXIKOOYRKF.home.gif"
align=baseline border=0></DIV>
</BODY></HTML>
-----------------------------------------------

BTW, I am using the Redemption to create the message in Outlook.

Hope it make sense. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Regards,
MA

"I can not see any attachments" - what do you mean by that? Where/how do you
look for it?

The body source above from Outlook client, when I view the message
with embedded image (sent from the other client to Outlook)

I will try to explain the situation:
The original message from other client has a embedded image inside the
message body and I have access to the image. Now I want to recreate
the message in Outlook with the embedded image inside the body.

You can see the screen-shot of the original message: http://screencast.com/t/8qBaR4qnx

How can I add the embedded image inside the Outlook message body?

Do you mean add an icon to the message body that would open the embedded
message when clicked?
Or add the embedded message as a regular attatchment without an icon in the
message body?
What is the source message format (MIME, etc)?

I want to create a HTML message with embedded image.

I have followed the sample code (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/
objects.htm#examples) but unable to find the SafeMailItem.Fields
perperties.

Anyway, the following code seems does the job:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
RDOAttachment attach = msg.Attachments.Add(@"C:\Temp\gwhome.gif",
Outlook.OlAttachmentType.olByValue, "", "gwhome.gif");
try
{
attach.set_Fields(923664414, "image/gif");
    attach.set_Fields(923926558, "ZYXXIKOOYRKF.gwhome.gif");
    attach.set_Fields(2147352587, true);
}
finally
{
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(attach);
    attach = null;
}
msg.HTMLBody = "test <STRONG>message</STRONG> body.<IMG align=baseline
border=0 hspace=0 src=cid:ZYXXIKOOYRKF.gwhome.gif>";
msg.Save();
-------------------------------------------------------------

Is there any documentation available about the field number (e.g.
923664414, 2147352587, etc) and what field its represent?

Cheers,
MA

PR_ATTACH_MIME_TAG, PR_ATTACHMENT_HIDDEN
Look at the message with MFCMAPI or OutlookSpy (click IMessage)
