Mainly in mail/mail-format.c and mail/mail-display.c. The stuff in composer, or maybe gtkhtml generates stuff when you send it. The basic idea is: You generate a multipart/related the first part is text/html any inline images are refernced as in <img src="cid:some-unique-string-x";> ... subsequent parts include the images, with an appropriate "Content-ID" header matching the cid's referenced in the html. e.g. --xxx Content-Type: image/png Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-ID: some-unique-string-x MMMXXFJAJDFJAFDADS... If you want to also provide a text-only version for text-only viewers, you wrap the whole lot in a multipart/alternative, and i think include a text/plain part as the first part in the alternative, followed by the whole multipart/related in the second part. Either that or the other way around, the mime rfc's explain the ordering you use. rfc2045, 2046, 2047 and maybe a couple of others around there. > Also, general references to HTML e-mail resources would be appreciated > (please e-mail them to me directly since this isn't directly related > to this list). I'd suggest googling, if we looked up docs developing it, they're probably long forgotten. The mime rfc's might cover some of it, although they predate html i think. _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
