There were a number of issues here. I'm guessing that you don't really want a
PowerShell class, but just a script that works. Here is a script that works.
I do want to share a couple of caveats....
I'm not sure WHY you are using the messageParameters array. I left it in, but I
would not use it in my code.
Now, this is taking a PowerShell script and making it look an awful lot like a
C# program. But if you want to display inline images, that's the way you have
to go. The Send-MailMessage cmdlet will only accept filepaths as the value for
the Attachment parameter, not System.Net.Mail.Attachment objects. See
(gcm send-mailmessage).parameters.Attachments
to verify that.
Also, in PowerShell, except on COM objects you should never be calling dispose.
Set the value of the variable to $null and that will decrement the reference
count. If the reference count is zero, then the next time the garbage-collector
runs, it will clean up the variable. If you need it to be cleaned up right now,
then force the GC to run:
[System.GC]::Collect()
will do it in PowerShell.

Subject: PS send email w/ embedded image
I was hoping someone might be able to help me out with a poweshell script.
The script sends a simple email, but I'm trying to embed a logo image and it's
not working. All I get is an empty square for the image.
Any help would be much appreciated,
