var success = false;
// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
// The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
var mailman = new CkMailMan();
// Set the SMTP server.
mailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.comcast.net";
// Create a new email object
var email = new CkEmail();
// Add an embedded image to the HTML email.
var fileOnDisk = "images/dude2.gif";
var filePathInHtml = "dudeAbc.gif";
// Embed the GIF image in the email.
success = email.AddRelatedFile2(fileOnDisk,filePathInHtml);
if (success !== true) {
console.log(mailman.LastErrorText);
return;
}
// The src attribute for the image tag is set to the filePathInHtml:
var htmlBody = "<html><body>Embedded Image:<br><img src=\"dudeAbc.gif\"></body></html>";
// Set the basic email stuff: HTML body, subject, "from", "to"
email.SetHtmlBody(htmlBody);
email.Subject = "JavaScript HTML email with an embedded image.";
success = email.AddTo("Admin","admin@chilkatsoft.com");
email.From = "Chilkat Support <support@chilkatsoft.com>";
success = mailman.SendEmail(email);
if (success !== true) {
console.log(mailman.LastErrorText);
}
else {
console.log("Mail Sent!");
