Hello,
Can oMail:HTMLBody be used to define a letterpaper for my outgoing emails ?
If so, how do I have to do that ?
I want to send emails from my application and I want each email to start with my logo.
How do I do that ?
Thanks.
Regards,
Michel

Michel,
Build your output as every print output from fivewin . You can use bitmaps, ......
As printer : PDFcreator (must be installed) , or a better solution is Image2Pdf.dll (i have working sample) in combination with OLE outlook or SMTP
Then you can send a e-mail with attachement PDF file

Frank,
I think you haven't quite understood what I mean.
I'd like to send an email out of my application and I want a logo put in the body of every email I send.
In Outlook you can do that by using "letterpaper" (in Dutch : "briefpapier").
I'd like to know how we can do that from a FW-application.
Thanks anyway.
Michel

Michel,
You have to build the logo into the HTML just like any webpage. Outlook just does this by starting with the letterhead HTML page that is blank inside, then the user fills it in. It is not a separate page. You will have to do the same with your code.
Personally, I wouldn't do it. It doesn't seem to be very popular with recipients because of the larger size of the mail. Also, it is very hard to do a reply to it as the format of the reply becomes messy.

return nilSorry but your sample uses a local disk reference to the images, not an internal message reference. Therefore it won't show any images when received by the recipient (I just tested this).

Enrico,

I presume you tested it with Outlook? Because it does work with OE. Doesn't Outlook also use stationary? If so, then I don't know why it won't work.

In your test did you set the path properly using this line from the sample above?

It needs to be set to the path of the images.
James
James, I received your test message and it work great (I can see the image). Can you send me a complete sample to test here?
EMG
Enrico,
>No, as I haven't that path in "Program Files" (or in Programmi).
I meant that you need to modify that line to whatever path you need so that it points to the image files you are using.

Done.
