Hi Hank. Yhanks for replying.
I used the example and , yes, that works fine, but does'nt it mean you have to convert the Image to base64 first , and then insert the Base64 string into your HTML ?

What I am looking for, and think it is available using the cid tag, was to be able to embed a file (not a linked File) but without having to convert to Base64 in advance

regards,
Gerard
