IF CompanyInfo.Picture.HASVALUE THEN BEGIN
CompanyLogo.INIT;
CompanyLogo.GET;
CompanyLogo.Blob := CompanyInfo.Picture;
CompanyLogo.INSERT;
FileLogo := FileManagement.BLOBExport(CompanyLogo,'Signature.jpg',FALSE);
END;

pBodyBlob.Blob.CREATEOUTSTREAM(BodyStream);
BodyStream.WRITETEXT(STRSUBSTNO('%1 ',Text_Dear) + pCustomer.Name);
BodyStream.WRITETEXT(' ');
BodyStream.WRITETEXT(STRSUBSTNO('%1 ',Text_Body));
BodyStream.WRITETEXT(' ');
BodyStream.WRITETEXT(STRSUBSTNO('%1',Test_Regards));
BodyStream.WRITETEXT(' ');
BodyStream.WRITETEXT('Mohamed Zayed');
BodyStream.WRITETEXT(' ');
BodyStream.WRITETEXT('BA.Service GmbH');
BodyStream.WRITETEXT(' ');
BodyStream.WRITETEXT(' ');
BodyStream.WRITETEXT(' ');
BodyStream.WRITETEXT(' ');

RE: Insert Company logo in Navision Mail body

Hey again,

i have take a look at CU400. At the create method is a call "IF HtmlFormatted THEN Mail.ConvertBase64ImagesToContentId;". It returns a boolean.

I tried to use this method but it returnes always 'false'.

This method is a member of "Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.SMTP.SmtpMessage.'Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.SMTP, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'". I can't find Plain Text for this DotNet, so i can't check what's going on.

I think the idea behind is to add images as Base64String and convert them to ContentId but it looks like it doesnt work.

Hi Alexander,

This link is not 100% helpful. The image in this link would be exported and saved on the server. I applied the solution in the link but as I said before when I send the mail to someone else he won't see the logo.

The reason behind this is that the Logo is export into some magic path on the server and if I send it to my self I will see it! otherwise all other user cannot see it.

As Binesh suggested, have you looked at community.dynamics.com/.../nav-2015-use-email-with-company-logo-and-url ?

[/quote]

This works only if you receive the email at the same computer from which you send it AND only if the email programm have access to your local drive.

But ok, i tested it:

I downloaded the Codeunit and send an email...
now i received this email and it looks good in my outlook

Now i checked the SAME email at https://outlook.office365.com

it doesn't work

i checked the sourcecode:
<img style="HEIGHT: 153px; WIDTH: 445px" src="file:///C:\Users\dennis.reinecke\AppData\Local\Temp\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\10252\{246EB00A-65F9-4087-8AF7-415E88FA6EDA}.jpg" width="100" height="100">
this is why it works well at the sending computer.

This is logical because the browser can't access this path at your computer.

Hey,

first, im sorry.

I checked and tried some stuff now. It looks like Outlook dont like Base64 images. At our MAC it looks fine.

found this: https://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/email-marketing/2013/02/embedded-images-in-html-email/

I tried to use "Customer Word Reports" with an Image and send it as Email Body, but this doesnt work. May should try a RDLC Report as email body, but i think it wouldn't work too.

If you send an image with outlook it looks like "src="cid:image001.png@01D2EB4D.6D41E590"" this is a link to an image which is defined as base64 in the Email Header. It looks like this:

Do you know what this do? It's a Link to your Filesystem, just try it out in your browser like 'file://c:/'. It will open your C: directory

To fix this:

You can use a public URL where u can find the CompanyLogo (It's a bad idea if you create it on the fly)

or you send the image as BASE64 string - see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_URI_scheme#HTML
