Hi Colin

I know you use easymail

One way is to create an html file with you message with your local images then load that into your mail body like below
that will pull the image in and it is part of the email message. You might want to set an alternate bodytext as well to allow for users who are not allowing html email.

Store "nick.mason@btinternet.com" To strto
strsubject = "IMAGE TEST"
Store "xxxxxxx" To strfrom
Store "xxxxxxx" To strserver

smtp=Createobject("EasyMail.SMTP.5")
smtp.Reset
smtp.mailserver=strserver
smtp.FromAddr=strfrom

smtp.addrecipient("",Strto,1)
smtp.subject=strsubject
smtp.ESMTP_AuthMode =1
smtp.ESMTP_Account = "xxxxx"
smtp.ESMTP_Password = "xxxx"
strHeaders = "Content-Type:text/plain"
SMTP.BodyFormat = 1
ret = smtp.ImportBodyTextEx("c:\test\test.htm", 2 + 4)
If Not ret = 0
WAIT window "Error importing File "
endif

smtp.licensekey="xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
qqax=smtp.Send()

Release smtp
