B4J Question [SOLVED] Sending emails to outlook with web based images [SOLVED]

Peter Lewis · Feb 26, 2021

Hi All

I have been trying to send a html email to Outlook with no luck. the text arrives but nothing else.

I see that the html on SMTP changes the text that I input.

I went to a spam email that someone sent to me which worked and displayed the images from a url. I copied the html code from the outlook message and saved that to an html file.

I then checked the source by opening it in a browser and it works perfectly, and in outlook.

So I imported this html file into my program and assigned it to smtp.body and also I have smtp.HtmlBody = True

But when it arrives it does not display correctly and looking at the source of the message , there are some letters missing

<o:AllowPNG/>
<oixelsPerInch>96</oixelsPerInch>
</o:OfficeDocumentSettings>
</xml>

And looking at the data after importing it , looks perfect.

Having these letters missing is the reason why it is not working.

Has any one also experienced this ?

The initial source of the html is attached

Thank you

It has something to do with the quotable content encoding. Use base64 instead:

B4X:

Dim su As StringUtils smtp.Body = su.EncodeBase64(h.GetBytes("utf8")) 'h = your html string smtp.AdditionalHeaders.Put("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "BASE64")

WOW , I just knew you would have the right answer ... MASTER

Thank you
