' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
' The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
Dim mailman As New ChilkatMailMan
' Use your SMTP server hostname. This example uses office365, but it could be any SMTP server..

' For whatever reason, the iPhone's email program requires
' images in HTML to be referenced by Content-ID. Therefore,
' we must add the image like this:

contentIdStarfish = email.AddRelatedFile("qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg")
If (email.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) Then
Debug.Print email.LastErrorText
Exit Sub
End If
' The src attribute for the image tag is set to the contentIdStarfish:
Dim sbHtml As New ChilkatStringBuilder
success = sbHtml.Append("<html><body><p>This is an HTML email with an embedded image.</p>")
success = sbHtml.Append("<p><img src=""cid:CONTENT_ID_STARFISH"" /></p></body></html>")
Dim numReplacements As Long
numReplacements = sbHtml.Replace("CONTENT_ID_STARFISH",contentIdStarfish)

success = mailman.SendEmail(email)
If (success <> 1) Then
Debug.Print mailman.LastErrorText
