Hi!

Outlook includes that image into email as attachment. If you have any low-level message text veiwing tools, you will see that it's content is multipart. One part is text/HTML content with mesage body. Another part is image that is encoded as attachment. There might be other parts, one for each image, plus real attachments.

I think it is possible, with big effort, prepare something like this and send via SMTP, but I'm not sure because never tried this. It is much better and easier to use some third-party tools for email sending instead of just SMTP mail.
There are a lot of such tools around with different capabilities, ASPMail and ASPEmail, for example (while I do not know if they allow to do something like you want, I do know they allow HTML email sending).

HTH.

>Well, after thinking more about this, there is probably a way to send that inline. Basically, we can do it manually in Outlook. For example, you go in LViewPro, you open an image, you copy it and paste it in the Outlook message. You'll see that the image will appear as is. This is still interpreted as HTML by Outlook. However, the image will be inline and not coming from a Web Server. Outlook will generate something like this in View Source:
