Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

What is your mail client? Outlook?

Just use the HTML-tag "<img>" in your email. Every (modern) mailclient can display HTML.

Okay, but who do i include it into my code?

Please help, thx!

okay, thanks! but could you edit my code to give me an example?

We do not spoon-feed users here

First try it yourself. If you run into problems, ask and we will try to help.

Hey again!

I tried, but i did not get it yet.

_inetmail ("xxx@yyy","xxxxx",""This is a test"<img src="Desktopscreenshot.jpg">"Test")

What have i done wrong?

edit: Autoit says syntax error

You really need to learn HTML

"<HTML><Body>This is a test <img src="Desktopscreenshot.jpg"> Test</body></html>"

rednosewoman · September 23, 2014

Are there any includes which i have to do?

Because it says syntax error .

Yeah i just started with autoit, didnt know i need hmtl for this

Check the help file for _inetmail and you will see which include is needed

#include <Inet.au3>

i had this already included. how is it possible that he still says syntax error, when i use the function?

i included the function you gave me in the _inet mail :S

caramen · September 23, 2014

#include <Inet.au3>

;===========================

$sMailTo = "xxxx@xxxx.com"

$sMailSubject = "Hi"

$sMailBody = "Hello i want to send that email to xxxx@xxxx.com <HTML code>"

;===========================

_INetMail ( $sMailTo, $sMailSubject, $sMailBody )

Maybe that can help you to understand the syntax becose you 're using 4 x double quote and with the help syntax you have to use 3 quote ?

_inetmail ("*@*.com","Hi","Hello... <HTML code> ..")

rednosewoman · September 23, 2014

It still says syntax error.

I did it like water said!

no you didn't. Post you ENTIRE script and we can see what you tried.

caramen · September 24, 2014

"<HTML><Body>This is a test <img src="Desktopscreenshot.jpg"> Test</body></html>"

This syntax cannot be used by the function you are using .

becose you got 2x 2 quote

put it in a variable

$sMailBody = '<HTML><Body>This is a test <img src="Desktop\screenshot.jpg"> Test</body></html> '

Edit : Water's tips

Edited September 24, 2014 by caramen

My bad. Should be single quotes around the whole string:

'<HTML><Body>This is a test <img src="Desktop\screenshot.jpg"> Test</body></html>'

or

$sMailBody = '<HTML><Body>This is a test <img src="Desktop\screenshot.jpg"> Test</body></html>'

if you want to try what Adventurer suggested.

Desktopscreenshot.jpg

I don't think it will works because it is a relative path, you should use instead:

C:\users\user\desktop\screenshot.jpg

Edited September 24, 2014 by j0kky

Or even better:

@DesktopDir & "\screenshot.jpg"

Might be more suitable for this kind of task than Outlook. Takes a bit of figuring-out the right commandline parameters but once it's set up it's independent of any other email program, and can easily be scripted. We use this to send backup reports. If you want to send a picture such that it will display IN the email itself, use the embed option.
