c# - MimeKit: How to embed images? -

i using mailkit/mimekit 1.2.7 (latest nuget version).

i tried embed image in html body of email following sample api documentation (section "using bodybuilder").

my current code looks this:

 var builder = new bodybuilder();   builder.htmlbody = @"<p>hey!</p><img src=""image.png"">";   var pathimage = path.combine(misc.getpathofexecutingassembly(), "image.png");  builder.linkedresources.add(pathlogofile);  message.body = builder.tomessagebody(); 

i can send email , in fact image is attached email. not embedded.

am missing something? or apple mail's fault (this email client using receiving emails)?

i grateful idea (and jeffrey stedfast providing such great toolset!!).

try bit more this:

var builder = new bodybuilder (); var pathimage = path.combine (misc.getpathofexecutingassembly (), "image.png"); var image = builder.linkedresources.add (pathlogofile);  image.contentid = mimeutils.generatemessageid ();  builder.htmlbody = string.format (@"<p>hey!</p><img src=""cid:{0}"">", image.contentid);  message.body = builder.tomessagebody (); 

if works you, i'll update documentation.

the problem might apple's multipart/related implementation not resolve image.png reference using content-location header on image mime part (possibly because relative url).

the cid: url-type should work, though, it's bit more awkward construct since need know content-id values each image attachment.
