how to embed multiple images into HTML email?

how to embed multiple images while sending html email using Java mail

• I'm trying to send email from javamail. I'm embeding the images and using CID. But the problem is how do I embed multiple images in a single message. if I try to add in header.. it is just taking the last set header. how do I add multiple images and reference using CID. MimeMultipart multipart = new MimeMultipart("related"); // first part (the html) BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart(); // BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart(); String htmlText = "<H1>Hello</H1><br/> <p align=center><img src=\"cid:senny\"> </p>"; htmlText+="<p align=center><img src=\"cid:senny\"> </p>"; htmlText+="<p align=center><img src=\"cid:image\"> </p>"; messageBodyPart.setContent(htmlText, "text/html"); // add it multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart); // second part (the image) messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart(); DataSource fds = new FileDataSource ("C:\\images\\cec_header_457.png"); DataSource fds1 = new FileDataSource ("C:\\images\\cec_header_420.png"); messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds)); messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds1)); messageBodyPart.addHeader("Content-ID","<image>"); messageBodyPart.addHeader("Content-ID","<senny>"); // add it multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart); // put everything together message.setContent(multipart);

• Answer:

  Each image needs to be its own MimeBodyPart, break up this code, // second part (the image) messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart(); DataSource fds = new FileDataSource ("C:\\images\\cec_header_457.png"); DataSource fds1 = new FileDataSource ("C:\\images\\cec_header_420.png"); messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds)); messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds1)); messageBodyPart.addHeader("Content-ID","<image>"); messageBodyPart.addHeader("Content-ID","<senny>"); // add it multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart); Into two multi parts, something like // second part (the image) messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart(); DataSource fds1 = new FileDataSource ("C:\\images\\cec_header_420.png"); messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds1)); messageBodyPart.addHeader("Content-ID","<senny>"); // add it multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart); messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart(); DataSource fds = new FileDataSource ("C:\\images\\cec_header_457.png"); messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds)); messageBodyPart.addHeader("Content-ID","<image>"); // add it multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
