displaying inline images in HTML email

by dnewman@[EMAIL PROTECTED] (David Newman) May 2, 2008 at 10:26 PM

I'm trying to include a PDF image both inline and as an attachment to an 
HTML email. The MIME::Lite module supports this, and the documentation 
even gives an example:

http://tinyurl.com/uemf7

However, when I try this with the code below, the inline image doesn't 
display. (The attachment is fine, though.) This is puzzling given that 
it's basically the same code as in the example above.

I'm new to <img src=cid: > tags. I've also tried this with "<img 
src=cid:08Bike.pdf>" but that doesn't display inline either.

How to get this working?

Many thanks

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use MIME::Lite;

my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
     To      =>'user@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
',
     Subject =>'HTML with in-line images!',
     Type    =>'multipart/related'
     );

$msg->attach(Type => 'text/html',
     Data => qq{ <body>
         Here's <i>my</i> image:
         <img src="cid:bike">
         </body> }
);

$msg->attach(Type => 'application/pdf',
     Id   => 'cruisin',
     Path => '/home/someuser/08Bike.pdf'
     );

$msg->send();
