Sending an outlook email with HTMLbody

[Jewtus]

This is the code that I'm executing. 

$HTMLsource=FileRead('C:\Users\n811761\Desktop\Test.htm')
            $emailAddress = 'Test@Fake.com'
            $olApp = ObjCreate("Outlook.Application")
            $olMailItem = 0
            $objMail = $olApp.CreateItem($olMailItem)
            $objMail.Save
            With $objMail
                .To =($emailAddress)
                .Subject = ("Thank You for Contacting!")
                .HTMLBody = ($HTMLsource)
                .Display
            EndWith
            $oOApp = 0

The problem I'm having is that the HTML file has references to image files.

I was looking at GDIPlus, and it seems like I should be able to convert the image files into a string that I can save so the HTML becomes self contained, but I'm not sure exactly how. I've attached a copy of the HTML and its resource files. If someone could steer me in the right direction, that would be great.

something like this?

#Include <GDIPlus.au3>
_GDIPlus_Startup()
$hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile(@SystemDir & "\DirectX\Dinput\act_rs.png")
$sCLSID = _GDIPlus_EncodersGetCLSID("BMP")
_GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFileEx($hImage, @ScriptDir & "\act_rs.bmp", $sCLSID)
_GDIPlus_ShutDown()

That's what I needed... I was trying to find that exactly! Much appreciated!

My pleasure!

Or you could use my OutllokEX UDF, attach the image and reference using CID as described in the _OL_ItemCreate example.

I was trying to leverage your script water, but I just needed a simple send email function so I didn't want to add a whole UDF. 

I ended up finding this command:

$objMail=$olApp.CreateItemFromTemplate

and

.HTMLBody = StringReplace($objMail.HTMLBody, "%25Hyperlink%25", $strHyperlink)

and I was able to specify the template file which contained the images so I didn't need to transform the images. It also made string replacement much easier with the template file.

The big advantage of running obfuscator when compiling a script is that you can strip off any uunused functions. So the overhead of using a UDF is reduced.

But you are right: Anything that can be done using an UDF can be done directly in the script

Obfuscator? guess you are a couple of releases behind.

Use AU3Stripper for that.
