Right now I am using below code:
import win32com.client as win32
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = 'to address'
mail.Subject = 'Message subject'
mail.Body = 'Message body'
mail.HTMLBody = '<h2>HTML Message body</h2>'# this field is optional
**mail.Attachments.Add('C:\Users\MA299445\Downloads\screenshot.png')**
mail.Send()
I am able to attach a picture but I want to paste this picture in e-mail body.
Thanks in advance
Create an attachment and set the PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID property (DASL name "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x3712001F
") using Attachment.PropertyAccessor
.
Your HTML body (MailItem.HTMLBody
property) would then need to reference that image attachment through the cid:
img src="cid:xyz"
where xyz is the value of the PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID
property.
Look at an existing message with OutlookSpy (click IMessage button).
attachment = mail.Attachments.Add("C:\Users\MA299445\Downloads\screenshot.png")
attachment.PropertyAccessor.SetProperty("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x3712001F", "MyId1")
mail.HTMLBody = "<html><body>Test image <img src=""cid:MyId1""></body></html>"
You can use <img>
HTML tag:
encoded_image = base64.b64encode(image_file.getvalue()).decode("utf-8")
html = '<img src="data:image/png;base64,%s"/>' % encoded_image
And you can put the tag inside your HTML content.
Don't forget to import required modules:
import base64
