Demonstrates how to add an image to an HTML email. AutoIt

Local $bSuccess = False

;  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
;  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$oEmail = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Email")

$oEmail.From = "Matt <matt@example.com>"
$oEmail.AddTo("Joe","joe@example.com")
$oEmail.Subject = "This is a test"

;  Add an HTML body with an image tag.
Local $sHtml = "<html><body><p>Test with image:</p><p><img src=""/wildlife/starfish.jpg"" /></p></body></html>"
$oEmail.SetHtmlBody $sHtml

;  Add the image data from a file.  The pathInHtml must match the value of the img tag's src attribute.
Local $sPathInHtml = "/wildlife/starfish.jpg"
;  The actual path of the JPG file in the local filesystem:
Local $sPathOnDisk = "qa_data/jpg/starfish20.jpg"

$bSuccess = $oEmail.AddRelatedFile2($sPathOnDisk,$sPathInHtml)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oEmail.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

;  The email is now properly constructed with an image that will be visible in the HTML.
;  In this example, we'll save it to a .eml file and verify by loading the .eml in an email client such as Mozilla Thunderbird.

$bSuccess = $oEmail.SaveEml("qa_output/starfish.eml")

;  Also, we can examine the MIME to understand how the image data in the MIME is associated with the img tag in the HTML.
;  It is the Content-Location header value that must match the value of the img tag's src attribute.

ConsoleWrite($oEmail.GetMime() & @CRLF)
