How can I send image or pictures through email not as an attachment, as an body message (Outlook)

Dear all,

I can send email through matlab and attach image files .

However, I couldn't find the way to send image or pictures in the message body so that I could easily check the pictures without download it.

I use outlook to email.

Could you let me know how can i solve this case?

Sincerely,

GY.

You will need to use HTML and code

<img src="data:

followed by a mime type and then base64 data.

Thanks for your reply!

So sorry but i use SMTP code like below.

setpref('Internet','SMTP_Server','smtp.gmail.com');

setpref('Internet','E_mail',mail);

setpref('Internet','SMTP_Username',mail);

setpref('Internet','SMTP_Password',password);

props = java.lang.System.getProperties;

props.setProperty('mail.smtp.auth','true');

props.setProperty('mail.smtp.starttls.enable','true');

%props.setProperty('mail.smtp.socketFactory.class', 'javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory');

%props.setProperty('mail.smtp.socketFactory.port','25');

sendmail(sent_email,'Title','Message Body')

Please let me know how can I use your code in this code.

Thanks in advance!

Ah, sorry, I just had a look at the sendmail() command, and I see that what you want to do is not possible with sendmail(). sendmail() can only send plain text in the body of the message, and any HTML would have to be an attachment, which you specifically do not want to do.

I am not sure what your alternatives are, short of opening a TCP connection to an SMTP port.

Thanks a lot!

I changed the way to send e-mails from sendmail to sendolmail so that I could use HTML code.

However the problem is that I have no idea how can i use "<img src="data:"

I just put the address of the file lilke "<img src=C:\~~~~~~>" but it just showed me x blank.

Please let me know if you know the way to use img src.

Sincerely,

GY.
