I need to send an email to gmail with some inline images.
I use perl and MIME:LITE, but Gmail shows my image as Attachment, not inline.
What’s the problem?
This is my code,
use MIME::Lite;
my $texto = '<html><body>hola <img src="cid:image" /> adios </body></html>';
#
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
Date => "Xxx, 22 Oct 2012 17:45:00 CET",
From => "pruebachunga@aqui.com",
To => 'chimpun@forum.chimpun',
Subject => "En un lugar de la mancha",
'Message-ID' => '123456789012345656789@8888888888888ldkf',
Type =>'multipart/related'
);
$msg->attach(
Type => 'text/html',
Data => $texto,
Encoding => 'quoted-printable'
);
$msg->attach(
Encoding => 'base64',
Type => 'image/png',
Path => "image.png",
Id => "image"
);
$msg->scrub(['x-mailer', 'Content-Disposition']);
print $msg->as_string;
The result is this email (I strip image secction)
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="_----------=_135100636840600"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Date: Xxx, 22 Oct 2012 17:45:00 CET

Subject: En un lugar de la mancha
Message-Id: 123456789012345656789@8888888888888ldkf
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

EDIT:
After reading on the web, I think that image is an attachment and has a problem known as "Image Blocking": https://www.campaignmonitor.com/resources/guides/image-blocking-in-email/
I maintained my question because people may find this question interesting. Now, I think that this code is correct, and with the other message, other ID, other sender… this code can run well.
