MIME Header Encoded Email Attachments 1

1DMF · Jul 23, 2008

Hello,

Is there a way of encoding and attachment into the mime header of an email so you can then reference it from the HTML part of your email via the CID: reference?

I can do this in VBA & Outlook but am having trouble finding how you can do this via PERL.

Thanks,
Craig.

         Subject =>'HTML with in-line images!',
         Type    =>'multipart/related'
    );
    $msg->attach(
        Type => 'text/html',
        Data => qq{
            <body>
                Here's <i>my</i> image:
                <img src="cid:myimage.gif">
            </body>
        },
    );
    $msg->attach(
        Type => 'image/gif',
        Id   => 'myimage.gif',
        Path => '/path/to/somefile.gif',
    );
    $msg->send();
