Trying ro find out if there is a common ASP proerty using COD to the one in CDONTS (This machine uses IIS6) which handled Embedded images in email. I have found the property for attached files, but not yet for embedded images. ASP Email has one, but I cannot get aspemail to work on IIS6 on Windows 2003 server. Every file with a Persits object in it gets the page can't be displayed error, like it's not even there. I have used aspemail on other IIS versions without a hitch, but IIS6 must be somehow different.

The simplest way would be to create a standard HTML page, however you like, with your image inserted normally. Then use the .CreateMHTMLBody method to let CDO create the message from the file and send it.

I find now that W2k and up are using the standard CDO, one does not need any 3rd party addons. I have a 1000+ page book, oddly enough published by Wrox :), that only covers Messaging, mostly with CDO. It is amazing what you can do, as I am finding out.

When you look at the vanilla information that comes to your email client, the embedded image is handled through a IMG tag with a "cid:" reference to an attached image.
i.e.
<IMG SRC="cid:imageref">
Embedded Content: ImageName.type: imageRef

This can be handled through the email components by creating the email as HTML encoded and attaching the image to the email.
Using CDOSYS this would look like: (I haven't tested this coding)

msg.HTMLBody = "Bob, this is me: <img src='cid:picture1'>"
msg.AddAttachment("C:\me.jpg", "me", "picture1")
