Hi,
I downloaded the trail version last year, but the project was put on hold.
It is now active again.
I am sending HTML emails via SMTP and Outlook.
SMTP works fine, but there is a problem with Outlook - images get replaced by a placeholder icon.
As soon as I get this working the client will order the product.
Many thanks,
Martin

My Delphi7 code is as follows:

try
oMailItem := Outlook.CreateMailItem;
if assigned( oMailItem ) then
with oMailItem do
begin
MsgTo := cemail;
Subject := 'TEST';

clSMTP1.UserName := 'martin@futurelinkpublishing.co.uk';
clSMTP1.Password := '********';

clMailMessage1.From.FullAddress := mainfrm.mainform.MUserSMTPEmailFromAddressComp;
clMailMessage1.ToList.EmailAddresses := EdtTo.Text;
clMailMessage1.Subject := 'TEST ' + EdtSubject.Text;}

Options := [rvsoNoHypertextImageBorders, rvsoImageSizes,
rvsoUseCheckpointsNames];
Stream := TMemoryStream.Create;
RichViewEdit1.SaveHTMLToStream(Stream, '', '', '', Options);
Stream.Position := 0;
SetLength(s, Stream.Size);
Stream.ReadBuffer(PRVAnsiChar(s)^, Length(s));

HTMLBody := s;

try
Send;
MessageSent := True;
except
on e: Sysutils.Exception do
MessageDlg('Mail send failure', mtWarning, [mbOK], 0)
end;
end; // with oMailItem do

finally
// etc
end;

Hi Sergei,
I'm thinking I'll need to parse the HTML and:
1. save the images as attachments
2. change the HTML tags to reflect what Outlook requires

For (1.), how do I access the original file names, so I can copy them to a temp folder, then reference the temp folder filename in the attachment.
When I look at the HTML, it just has the filename, not the path name.

Thanks,
Martin

As I can see, you use CleverComponents.
All this work is already implemented, see here: http://www.trichview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=30791

clRVSendMail.pas contains the function

Code: Select all

procedure SendHTMLEmail(RV: TCustomRichView; Smtp: TclSmtp; Msg: TclMailMessage;
  HTMLKind: THTMLKind = htmlAdvanced; Attachments: TStrings = nil);
procedure CopyHTMLEmailFromRVToMsg(RV: TCustomRichView; Msg: TclMailMessage;
  HTMLKind: THTMLKind = htmlAdvanced; Attachments: TStrings = nil);

SendHTMLEmail() takes content from RV, all other message properties from Msg, and send it using Smtp.
CopyHTMLEmailFromRVToMsg() fills the Msg content from RV.

This doesn't help though.
The issue is with the HTML not working with Outlook.
I need a SendHTMLEmailViaOutlook(RV: TCustomRichView; etc...) that sorts out the image problems.
Can anybody help before I give up?

Unfortunately, we have only procedures that can send HTML emails that conform to HTML email standards. We do not have specific procedures for Outlook.
