B4J Question Insert an Image into an email's body

[Christos Dorotheou]

Hi everybody

I am trying to send an email from within my Application, using the default email client application (MS Outlook) on a pc with the fx.ShowExternalDocument subroutine.

It works perfectly good as far as mailto:, subject and text in the body is concerned
but I need to insert in the email's body, an image of a canvas snapshot from within my code.

I will greatly appreciate any suggestions as to how I can implement this request.

Sub ShowMailClient(Address As String, Subject As String, BodyText As String)

fx.ShowExternalDocument($"mailto:${Address}&subject=${Subject}&body=${BodyText}"$)

End Sub

I would try to put HTML Text into the body and embed the image as base64 encoded string. Encoding can be done with StringUtils...

It will not work. mailto creates plain text messages.
