I use VB6 COM component.

Hi Am,

Did you try the Attach method?

In sample 8. With embedded picture , just add something like this:

[code]wodSmtp1.Message.Attach C:\some_file_to_attach.zip [/code]

The above code should be added before the .SendMessage call.

Can you try that and let me know the result?

Thank you very much! it works!

I have anoter question please: Since I use embedded picture, I have to use Message.HTMLText method.
I tried to combine HTMLText and regular text, but found nothing yet. Is it possible?
I want to just put regular text (not HTML), because if I use it as HTML, all the special characters (line feed etc.) are gone.
In fact, I need to customize a mail with: embedded picture + regular text + attachment.

Thanks again!

Am,

You can try something like this:

[code]wodSmtp1.CreateSimple txtFrom.Text, txtTo.Text, txtSubject.Text, txtPlainText.Text

wodSmtp1.Message.Attach Text1.Text, image/gif , 1
wodSmtp1.Message.Parts(1).ContentDisposition = inline

wodSmtp1.SendMessage[/code]

This will send a message with plain text, and an embedded picture. If you wish to attach another file, just call Attach method again with the specific parameters.

I would also suggest that you try checking the following link: http://www.weonlydo.com/Smtp/Help/WODSMTPLib~SmtpMsg~Attach.html
For more information on wodSmtp's Attach method.

Can you please check it out and try?

Thank you very much!

The last example you sent is working, but the picture is attached, not embedded.
I will look further on manual to see a solution to my question.

Thanks!
