Trying to insert picture using send/subject
[1/7] from: dechert:gma:il at: 10-Jun-2008 15:35
I have been sending semi-personalized email announcements to my group with
this one-liner:
send/subject dechert-gmail.com join "Dear Mr. Dechert:^M" read
file:///thisfile.txt "This is the Subject"
(I have script to replace email address and salutation)
This has been working fine for text. Now, I want to insert a picture --
don't know how or if possible with send/subject. Clues?

Try the /attach refinement.

Thanks, Gregg.
send/subject/attach dechert-gmail.com join "Dear Mr. Dechert:^M" read
file:///myfile.txt "This is the Subject" %mypicture.jpg
Okay, this worked to attach the picture, but I want the picture in the body
of the email. For example, if you use html format with Outlook Express and
then do Insert|picture the recipient will see the picture in the email
without having to click on the attachment.

I've never done that, but I'm pretty sure it won't be a one-liner.
Look at an email that's formatted how you want. Probably a
multipart/related, with plain text and html content sections, and the
HTML refs an attached image with an embedded content ID (just glance
at one quickly here).
Once you know what it should look like, hack SEND and let us know how
it works out. :)

have you tried send/attach
? send
...
/attach -- Attach file, files, or [.. [filename data]]
files -- The files to attach to the message (Type: file block)
...

Hi,
I was asked to produce script some time ago, which would allow to have
e-postcard inline, and I am not sure it was done by multipart/related
only. There was a "strange" element called "cid:" (referenced by content
ID?) I suggest to look at http://www.view-card.com
Here's content of message, containing inline postcard:

You could have all the pictures stored on a web site and links in our html
formated email to these pictures.
This way to emails are still small to send, and the reciever can load the
pictures if they want to.
Regards,
Greg
