Coding like in the manual

mail.send('y...@example.com',
  'Message subject',
  '<html><img src="cid:photo" /></html>',
  attachments = mail.Attachment('/path/to/photo.jpg', content_id='photo'))

all the images appear at the bottom of the email as attachments like this ( anexos means attachments!)

how do i prevent this because its not nice to see them as attachments besides the <html><img src="cid:photo" /></html>'

regards

António

I do not know if it is possible. The email client decides how to display the images.

Using Thunderbird I added an inline image to an email to myself, saved the received email to a file and opened it in a text editor.

The html part of the message looked like this:

<html>
<head>

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<p>Image inline<img src="cid:part1.yqKN0...@gmail.com"
moz-do-not-send="false"><br>
</p>
</body>
</html>

The part1.yqKN0...@gmail.com is a following section containing base64 encoding of the image.

The "Image inline" is just text I put in the message before adding inline the image. The "moz-do-not-send=false" is just a processing flag for Thunderbird. I sent a second email with the image inline and added as an attachment and this text was no longer there.

Maybe it needs a head and body section to function as a correct html email. Just trying to help by using an email client to manufacture a message of the type you want to send.

Regards,

Ron

i misread your previous email. this is not the browser image preview as i assumed. the book example adds the <img ...> to explicitly embed images of in the <html/>

simply delete any reference to the image in the body of the email. the attachments=... is sufficient.

Basically you just want this:

mail.send('y...@example.com', 'Message subject', '<html>Body message</html>', attachments = [mail.Attachment('/path/to/photo.jpg', content_id='photo')])
