[Solved] Mail/mime using embedded images within attached css

Post by CoderGoblin »

Hello all,

Yet another mail/mime question I am afraid. Tried looking on the web but cannot find anything appropriate.

I have an email with attachments for all images within the HTML and a CSS file. (Works fine).
The problem is that the css includes also includes images. These images have therefore also been included into the mail. The css "urls" have been modified to contain cid:xyz as required.

For some reason however these images are never accessed and therefore show as attachments.

Has anyone ever run into this problem before / know a solution

Thanks in advance

to save space when I have to send an html email, I use absolute references to the site's server.

Thanks for the response, unfortunately this is not possible in this instance. (Customer specified)

The problem has been tracked down to Thunderbird incorrectly pocessing. Outlook works as expected so will leave it there.
