Question

I have a simple little email app that allows a user to pick certain options that generate a string and sends out an email. I wanted to see if its possible to add images to the email i.e. a header logo or signature, etc. The research I’ve been looking at is very HTML heavy and I know very little HTML. Can anyone help? My code is as follows…

using System;
using Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;
using System.Configuration;

namespace My_EmailSender
{
    public class EmailSender:Notification
    {
        string emailRecipient = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["emailRecipient"];

        public void SendMail(string message)
        {
            try
            {
                var oApp = new Outlook.Application();
                var oMsg = (Outlook.MailItem)oApp.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);
                var oRecip = (Outlook.Recipient)oMsg.Recipients.Add(emailRecipient);
                oRecip.Resolve();
                oMsg.Subject = "Email Notification";
                oMsg.Body = message;

                // Display the message before sending could save() also but no need
                oMsg.Send();
                oMsg.Display(true);
                oRecip = null;
                oMsg = null;
                oApp = null;
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Problem with email execution. Exception caught: ", e);
            }

            return;
        }
    }
}

I would always use System.Net.Mail to send emails but maybe this is a requirement of yours?
