Hi all

Developing an app that uses BLAT to send emails as html.

The app builds messages from a database and am wondering how images are included in messages?

TIA

Probably the same way you would include an image in any HTML document.

Thanks for your reply.

Eventually found a code snippit that shows how.
Code: 
[<h1>Hey, have you tried BLAT email?</h1>]	;
	+	[<BR>]								;
	+	[<a href='[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.google.com'>[/URL]]	;
	+ 	[google.com] 						;
	+ 	[</a>]								;
	+	[<BR>]								;
	+	[<BR>]								;
	+	[<img src="cid:camera.png">]		;
[tab]+ [<BR>]								;
	+	[<img src="cid:c90jb.png">]
That's the message sent via BLAT, (apologies for the poor formatting).

There is a command line switch/argument/etc '-embed', so
Code: 
lcEmbed = [c90jb.png,camera.png]
is added to the other command line switches.

No need for <html> or <body> tags as there is a command line switch
Code: 
llHTMLFormat=.T.
also sent.

The embed instruction tells the app to create a multipart message with the image inserted as a stream of hexadecimal characters after the message body.
