How to add image with mail body

To add an image to 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="image.jpg" alt="Image description">
  </body>
</html>

Replace image.jpg with the actual file name and path of the image you want to add.

Method 2: Using a MIME attachment

You can attach the image as a MIME attachment to the email. 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_data = open('image.jpg', 'rb').read()
image = MIMEImage(image_data, name='image.jpg')
msg.attach(image)

server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.example.com')
server.sendmail('[email protected]', '[email protected]', msg.as_string())
server.quit()

Replace image.jpg with the actual file name and path of the image you want to add.

Method 3: Using a third-party library

You can use a third-party library such as email or yagmail to send an email with an image attachment. Here's an example using yagmail:

import yagmail

yag = yagmail.SMTP('[email protected]', 'your_password')
subject = 'Test Email with Image'
body = 'This is a test email with an image attachment.'
image_path = 'image.jpg'
yag.send('[email protected]', subject, body, images=image_path)

Replace image.jpg with the actual file name and path of the image you want to add.

Method 4: Using a cloud-based service

You can use a cloud-based service such as Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage to host your image and then link to it in your email. Here's an example:

import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

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

body = 'This is a test email with an image attachment.'
image_url = 'https://example.com/image.jpg'
msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain'))
msg.attach(MIMEText('<img src="' + image_url + '">', 'html'))

server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.example.com')
server.sendmail('[email protected]', '[email protected]', msg.as_string())
server.quit()

Replace image.jpg with the actual file name and path of the image you want to add.

Note: Make sure to replace the placeholders ([email protected], [email protected], image.jpg, etc.) with your actual email address, recipient's email address, and image file name/path.
