HTML images in mail attachment? 1

[mrdance]

Is it possible to attach images to a mail and link to those (instead of using absolute links to a webpage)?

thanks

Yes it is. The method of doing so depends on what you have available. You can do this with most e-mail programs and can also do it with various scripting languages like Perl.

OK, how can I link to it? (where do I find the image relatively?)

You use the images content id (cid). The details and an example can be found in RFC 2111.
Basically, your html to display the image will look like this:

<a href="cid:picture1" alt="picture1">

Where the attached image has a content-id of 'picture1'.
