RE: Embed picture in HTML email
Chris,
I can generate a perfect Go Gadget Go sample with what I have. But where
do the pictures come into play? Your sample does not have and gif of jpg's
in it. Have a look at my code (note I do not use core tags). Issue is
that the picture is not showing when emailed to the user. What's the trick
to get the picture in the email??

RE: Embed picture in HTML email
Its pretty simple from the docs included with mailer taglib but, heres how
it works with some examples :
First page is a simple html:form that collects the data. The
javascript:validate() method on that page forwards on to another html page
(the page that goes in to the body of your html email) which has these
tags in :
--
%@ taglib prefix=c uri=http://java.sun.com/jstl/core; %
%@ taglib uri=http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/mailer-1.1;
prefix=mail %
mail:mail
mail:serverc:out value=${mailhost} escapeXml=false //mail:server
mail:fromc:out value=${sender} escapeXml=false / c:out
value=${sender} escapeXml=false //mail:from
mail:setrecipient type=toc:out value=${recipient} escapeXml=false
//mail:setrecipient
mail:subjectsubject here/mail:subject
mail:message type=html
html
body h1 go go gadget legs /h1
/body
/html
/mail:message
mail:send/
/mail:mail
c:redirect url=nextPage.do /
--
The user only sees the form page and nextPage.do and recieves a nice big
'go go gadget legs' in their email.

RE: Embed picture in HTML email
I used the mailer tag lib to generate the email sent from this page :
http://www.index.co.uk/rf/navigation/product.do?SN=versionid=723categoryid=149949126thisprod=179469156product=179469156D=189121345
click the button 'e-mail this item to a friend' on the middle right of the
page and enter your details to
receive the mail.
It sends html including css and images etc. The trick is to generate a
normal html page and then send the built page as the body part of the
mailer tag.

You can't embed pictures in emails. You can have img src=foo etc in
them, but the picture will be obtained from a server of some kind.
Some mail clients [okay, Outlook is the only one I know of] allow for some
proprietary xml-ish tags to be in your emails which will load resources
from attachments.
I usually send from Outlook to Pine to see this, but I'm sure there are
ways to see what the html really looks like in Outlook. Save it or
something. Anyway, you'll see lots of special tags that exist. I've never
really played with them though.
I'd definitely be interested in seeing any info which details the
pseudo-library of extra tags that Outlook converses in, but have never
really gone looking for them. Maybe it's possible to write a Java library
for creating Outlook-HTML pages and then sending it as a mime-type that
only Outlook responds to (?). We could then send 3 versions of every mail,
plain-text, html and outlook-html.
Just some thoughts...
