1, I try to add email image as follows

currentMailItem.Attachments.Add("C:\\pictest.jpg", Type.Missing, Type.Missing, "pictest.jpg");
int lastBodyMarker = currentMailItem.HTMLBody.ToUpper().LastIndexOf("</BODY>");
string sHtml = currentMailItem.HTMLBody.Substring(0, lastBodyMarker) + "<P>\n</P>" + "<img src=pictest.jpg/>\n" +"</BODY>\n" + "</HTML>";
currentMailItem.HTMLBody = sHtml;

I send this email to several recipients. recipients with Outlook and Gmail can see the image as embended image, but recipient in yahoo, cannot see the image.

Why?

2. So I think maybe I need use cid. The problem is Outlook.Attachment does not have propertyAccessor and ContentId, I cannot change the contentID. Is there any way to set contentID for outlook.Attachment and not use MAPI?

Hello Chen,

1. We don't know anything about how GMail and Yahoo process images, sorry. Maybe some forum reader will be able to help you.

2. Please see Redemption: http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/objects.htm, search for "Create an HTML message with an embedded image" at that page.
