what is it showing up as

is there broken image icon showing or the its showing as <img src=...> etc.
you have to set content-type to text/html to correct the second one and be forewarned - external images in the message are blocked by many of the email programs/services.

nope it doesnt come up with a broken image icon, it comes up with the code!!!
tried the latter and that just showed the code again. Your recommendation of sayin declarin the type=text/plain how would you recommend I attach the file as well.
thanks for your help

When did i recommend text/plain. text/plain is the cause of code showing up.
well first of all add the header "Content-Type:text/html" and then attach the img. i am sure the prob will be out for good
