HTML E-Mail with HTML Form ??

Hi,

Do you know if it's possible to send an HTML E-Mail with an HTML Form
(<form></form>) embedded in it??

And if so, will Outlook (a) render the form properly and (b) allow you
to submit the form normally?

Thanks!!> Do you know if it's possible to send an HTML E-Mail with an HTML Form

Yes, you can include the form and the send will work.

It depends on the user's security settings and which version of outlook they
are using. (It should work for most.)

html email with embedded images

Hi,
I know how to send emails from the .Net environment, even html mails.
But, what is the best way to add images to the html?
A URL to an image somewhere on some server is usually blocked nowadays,
so you need to send the image as attachment. I had some success when I
used the filename (without path) of the attachment as img-src.
Is that the only way or are there better methods?
A related question: some of these images might be stored in the database
or generated "on the fly", but the MailAttachment class uses filenames.
Is there any way to attach some document *without* storing it first?
If not, can I safely delete that temporary file directly after I send the
email to the server?
Hans KestingI don't believe you can embed images into an email with the .net mail.
I also have to send out email's with embedded images that came from a
database. I basically had to write my own SMTP client to replace the built
in .net version. You can also purchase a 3rd party package that will do
this. (I couldn't since our product is resold and it would cause licencing
issues)
Unfortunally I can't send my code...they would probably fire me! But I can
offer you a few pointers on what you should do. Writing you're own SMTP
client isn't as easy as it sounds...there's a lot of standards to follow.
I strongly recommend that you use a 3rd party package...maybe this:

Html email and embedded images.

Is it possible to embed an image in an html email without a mail component.
If so can you post an example.
Thanks
Ok now I know it is not possible without a component. Is there a freecomponent around that lets you imbed images in to html emails?

HTML Code embedded within HTML Page as Text

I know this is a somewhat rudimentary question but...

I want to display HTML code on an HTML page but I want the code to display
as text. In other words, I want the code not to be rendered as HTML on the
HTML page, but rather have it rendered as simple text.

This must be easy to do as I see it everywhere.
