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

* First load image data into memory.
* This example loads image data from a file.
* However, your application could get the image data from any other source, such as
* from a database.
loFac = CreateObject('Chilkat.FileAccess')

loImageBytes = loFac.ReadEntireFile("qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg")

* The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
loMailman = CreateObject('Chilkat.MailMan')

* Use your SMTP server hostname.  This example uses office365, but it could be any SMTP server..
loMailman.SmtpHost = "outlook.office365.com"
loMailman.SmtpPort = 587
loMailman.StartTLS = 1

* Set the SMTP login/password
loMailman.SmtpUsername = "OFFICE365-SMTP-LOGIN"
loMailman.SmtpPassword = "OFFICE365-SMTP-PASSWORD"

* Create a new email object
loEmail = CreateObject('Chilkat.Email')
loEmail.Subject = "HTML Email with Image Loaded from In-Memory Bytes"
loEmail.From = "Chilkat Support <my-office365-user@mydomain.com>"
loEmail.AddTo("Chilkat Support","support@chilkatsoft.com")

lcContentIdStarfish = loEmail.AddRelatedData("starfish.jpg",loImageBytes)

    ? loEmail.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFac
    RELEASE loMailman
    RELEASE loEmail
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* The src attribute for the image tag is set to the contentIdStarfish:
loSbHtml = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
loSbHtml.Append("<html><body><p>This is an HTML email with an embedded image.</p>")
loSbHtml.Append('<p><img src="cid:CONTENT_ID_STARFISH" /></p></body></html>')
lnNumReplacements = loSbHtml.Replace("CONTENT_ID_STARFISH",lcContentIdStarfish)

loEmail.SetHtmlBody(loSbHtml.GetAsString())

IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loMailman.LastErrorText
ELSE
    ? "Mail Sent!"
