I know what you are saying is true, but the client has requested, and insist
that he keeps his branding, and needs his images embedded in order to keep
his buttons / borders / logos etc in the mail, the same way the website
looks! Even though he gets an odd 60 or so bounces because of companies not
accepting such emails.
I just got a question, which I couldn't seem to figure out. How do I embed
an image with your example? the problem I sit with, is that a lot of users
download email, and disconnect from the internet, thus an absolute link
(www.mysite/images/logo.gif) won't work, as these images will only be
downloaded once the email has been opened, and it tries to connect to the
server.
with CDONTS, I can do this very well:
bodytext = bodytext & "<td align=center><a href='" & domain &
"/kickmeto.asp?page=questionaire_respond.asp&emailrespond=yes&userid=" &
userid & "&questionaireid=2&companyid=" & companyid & "&response=5"
bodytext = bodytext & "&commentid=" & commentid &
"&subcomment=yes&subcommentid=" & subcommentid & "'>"
bodytext = bodytext & "<img src=""face_m2.gif"" width='24' height='23'
border=0></a></td>"
End If
bodytext = bodytext & "</tr>"
bodytext = bodytext & "<tr align=center bgcolor='#FFFFFF' ><td
width='20%'><font size=2>Over The Moon</td><td width='20%'><font
size=2>Quite Impressed</td><td width='20%'><font size=2>Indifferent</td><td
width='20%'><font size=2>Not Impressed</td><td width='20%'><font
size=2>Utterly Disgusted</td></tr>"
on error resume next
Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
mailer.AttachURL file_path + "face_0.gif", "face_0.gif"
mailer.AttachURL file_path + "face_1.gif", "face_1.gif"
mailer.AttachURL file_path + "face_2.gif", "face_2.gif"
mailer.AttachURL file_path + "face_m1.gif", "face_m1.gif"
mailer.AttachURL file_path + "face_m2.gif", "face_m2.gif"
Mailer.From = strFrom
Mailer.Importance = 2
Mailer.BodyFormat = 0
Mailer.MailFormat = 0
