Image in HTMLfile -> Outlook.
December 14, 2018 03:46PM
Hi all,

As of WD23 it is possible to include an image in a HTML-fle and send this file by email. Most of the emailclients do show the image, but
MS Outlook shows it's natural way of not cooperating. There is only a black square where the image should be. Right clicking the black square
doesn't give any info about the image. I'm using the RTFtoHTML function.

Does somebody know how to solve this ??


Best regards,

i use the following, where EDT_body is an HTML field containing the image(s)


bdy is string ="{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\nouicompat\deflang2057{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fprq2\fcharset0 Segoe UI;}} {\*\generator Riched20 10.0.14393}\viewkind4\uc1 \pard\f0\fs17\par}"+ EDT_body

MyMessage..HTML = bdy

EmailSendMessage(nOutlookSessionID, MyMessage)

Hi ISO,

Thanks for you reply.

I'm still getting the empty square in the mail accompanied with your stringtext. This is the code I used.

Outlookbody is string = "{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\nouicompat\deflang2057{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fprq2\fcharset0 Segoe UI;}} {\*\generator Riched20 10.0.14393}\viewkind4\uc1 \pard\f0\fs17\par}"
Email.HTML = Outlookbody + RTFToHTML(SCRTF.EDIT_RTFTEXT)

Any hints ??

Best regards,

Are you wanting to use RFT?

Maybe this helps:


//EDT_footer // this is an RFT field

//EDT_body // this is an RFT field with image


myItem is object OLE dynamic
myOlApp is object OLE dynamic
myOlApp= new object OLE "Outlook.Application"

myItem = myOlApp>>CreateItem(0)
myItem>>Subject = "Subject"
myItem>>Recipients>>"someone@hotmail.com"

myItem>>Display()
myItem>>HTMLBody = RTFToHTML(EDT_body) + CR + CR + RTFToHTML(EDT_footer )
