Including Pictures in an Outlook Email

by

First of all, you are setting the plain text MailItem.Body property.
Secondly, create an attachment and set the PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID property (DASL name "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x3712001F") using Attachment.PropertyAccessor.SetProperty.

Your HTML body (MailItem.HTMLBody property) would then need to reference that image attachment through the cid attribute:

<img src="cid:xyz">

where xyz is the value of the PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID property.

Look at an existing message with OutlookSpy (I am its author – click IMessage button).

EDIT: sample script (off the top of my head):

attachment = MailItem.Attachments.Add("c:\temp\MyPicture.jpg")
attachment.PropertyAccessor.SetProperty("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x3712001F", "MyId1")
MailItem.HTMLBody = "<html><body>Test image <img src=""cid:MyId1""></body></html>"
