Embed images in email powershell code sample

Hi there,

I have been searching for some sample code for "embedding images in html
email from powershell". I can get images to link from a URL but want to embed
them as a lot of email programs will block links to external URL's for
obvious reasons or require you update the "trusted site zone" or create a
"safe senders list".

I can find sample code in a various languages using "System.Net.SmtpClient"
and "System.Net.Mail.MailMessage" but nothing with a powershell example.

If anyone knows of one can they point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Matt Duguid

Hi Marco,

I saw that one earlier on my trawl through various google results but thanks
for the post.

What I am after is to be able to "embed" an image in an html email generated
from Powershell using either the "System.Net.SmtpClient" or
"System.Net.Mail.MailMessage" class.

I have listed a C sharp code sample below but I need a powershell one if
anyone can help or point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Slightly related, iTripoli posted a cool app on their site which among other
things, embeds an image inside of the powershell code. It might be useful for
you. Also note that the Admin Script Editor can handle the work of embedding
the images.
