I am trying to add an Image to an Email Body.
I am using Outlook 16 and Python 3.7 to do this.
The mail gets sent from Mailbox.
Here is my code function to send email and how can I add an Image at the end of the email.
def send_email(sender,recipient):
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = recipient
mail.Subject = Subject_Req
mail.HTMLBody = Content_Email
mail.SentOnBehalfOfName = sender
mail.GetInspector
mail.Send()
The Image is present in my local network :- C:\Users\Sid\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures\My Project\image001.png
The Image is nothing but the logo which I want to put at the last part of the HTML body.
So basically from the function it will be Content_Email + This image.
I tried some code, what it does is :- it sends an "X" mark at the end in place of the image itself to the recipient.
And when I send it to myself, It puts the "X" mark but I get an option to download pictures on right click and it gets the Image.
What I would like to do is, put the Image instead of the "X" for both the cases without the user having to have access to that Image.
How can I do this using Python. The solution in here seems to be working with VBA : https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/26481413/Problem-inserting-HTML-images-into-the-body-of-a-messge.html

Use of <img>Tag The <img> tag specifies an image to be displayed in an HTML document.
Set up a secure connection using SMTP_SSL() and . starttls() Use Python's built-in smtplib library to send basic emails. Send emails with HTML content and attachments using the email package.
I managed to get this to work through attachment.PropertyAccessor.SetProperty function.
def send_email(sender,recipient):
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = recipient
mail.Subject = Subject_Req
attachment = mail.Attachments.Add(signatureimage)
attachment.PropertyAccessor.SetProperty("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x3712001F", "MyId1")
mail.HTMLBody = Content_Email + "<html><body><img src=""cid:MyId1""></body></html>"
mail.SentOnBehalfOfName = sender
mail.GetInspector
mail.Send()
#Change the Paths here, if ran from a different location
signatureimage = "C:\\Users\\Sid\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Signatures\\My Project\\image001.png"
This would mean, it will embed the Image and not link the Picture to a link. Linking to a picture expects the recipients to have access to that particular picture location.
Also, for a learning this link doesn't change at all :- http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x3712001F
