Images within Emails

Hi Guys,

Within the breakout scripting (Form email invoice clicked) is it possible to add images or if not fonted and colored text.

I tried most of the HTML coding options and none seemed to work. My knowledge of VB scripting gets worse with every year I get older (going to have a play with it and Google some stuff in the meantime)

Not a biggie really, just curious if it is possible.

Regards
Robin Fleming

Hi Robin,

I'm not sure what API you are using to send emails from Jiwa. We use CDO, which has the ability to specify HTML. In the HTML you can link to an image as you would in any web page using image tags, provided the image is hosted on a publicly available web server.

If you are using CDO, make sure you specify HTMLBody instead of TextBody.

These links are ASP centric but they will be useful in providing examples for breakouts too.

Ok - here's the thing. We followed the guidance on how to send emails using the .NET framework in 06.05.13, and as it turns out none of that is RFC compliant (RFC 822, etc).

So, in 06.05.14 I've adjusted a few things - so keep in mind whatever you're using right now, may change or stop working in 06.05.14.
