Add image in mail body

To add an image in the body of an email, you can use the following methods:

Method 1: Using HTML

You can use HTML to embed an image in the email body. Here's an example:

<html>
  <body>
    <img src="cid:image1" alt="Image 1">
  </body>
</html>

In this example, cid:image1 is a content ID that references the image file. You'll need to attach the image file to the email and set its content ID to image1.

Method 2: Using a MIME attachment

You can also attach the image file to the email as a MIME attachment. Here's an example:

import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.image import MIMEImage

msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['Subject'] = 'Test Email with Image'
msg['From'] = '[email protected]'
msg['To'] = '[email protected]'

image = MIMEImage(open('image.jpg', 'rb').read())
image.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment', filename='image.jpg')
msg.attach(image)

server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.starttls()
server.login('[email protected]', 'your_password')
server.sendmail('[email protected]', '[email protected]', msg.as_string())
server.quit()

In this example, we create a MIMEImage object and attach it to the email message using the attach() method. We also set the Content-Disposition header to attachment to indicate that the image should be downloaded as a file.

Method 3: Using a third-party library

There are several third-party libraries available that can help you add images to email bodies. For example, you can use the yagmail library in Python:

import yagmail

yag = yagmail.SMTP('[email protected]', 'your_password')
yag.send('[email protected]', 'Test Email with Image', ['image.jpg'])

In this example, we create a yagmail object and use its send() method to send an email with an attached image.

Note: When sending emails with images, make sure to check the recipient's email client settings to ensure that they can receive and display images. Some email clients may block images by default or require the recipient to explicitly allow them.
