Redemption - Embed Images using separate Function

[Jado]

Hi

I was pointed to the redemption site for some code used to embed images into
an email created using .HTMLBody

this code shows how to embed a single image into an email.

i've been trying to split this code, so that adding more than 1 image is an
easy and clean task.

i'm not an advanced programmer, and have not mannaged to get this to work.

i was wondering if someone could help!

The 3rd Function is the one from the Redemption site. I have not made any
changes to this function so you can see how it works on it's own.

Thanks

Jado

You simply need to make sure that you use a unique cid for each attachment
and call EmbedHTMLImage for each image.
