['Chip' [e-mail] [blat]]

Hi,
Thank you for the welcome.
I am a new user of BLAT (v3.2.10, 32 bit) having used it for the past week
only. I learnt about BLAT from some professional friends.
I have been using it to send test text alert messages and so far it has
worked fine. The next phase of the exercise is to send jpg file(s) of
plotted data images to accompany the text messages but I have not had any
success so far. I have used the following command line and it has executed
The jpg file has been sent as an attachment but the attached file seems to
be empty because it cannot load and picture.
Today I learnt by reading BLAT doc that -embed can be used to send jpg
files. Would it be possible provide an example of a command syntax for
this purpose.
Thank you.
Ima Itikarai

Ima,

Here is an example:

blat someTextFile.txt -attach ula1minrsam.jpg -s "ULA RSAM ALERT" -to
***@gmail.com -cc ***@mineralgov.pg

The -attach option is what you need for the image file. The
someTextFile.txt could be any text file that has something meaningful about
why the email is being sent.

Two of your emails came through with attachments, two did not. If you want to have images within the message, the only way I know is to use HTML for your message, with a line like this in your HTML:

<img src="cid:man1minrsam.jpg">

The cid: tag tells the HTML viewer that the image should be part of the email using the name that follows. When using cid: tags, do not include path names, use _only_ the filename.

If you do use the above cid: syntax, you can them specify –embed on the Blat command line, which may or may not include a full path to the image file you want embedded into the HTML email. The name used with cid: must be the filename of your image file because Blat will use that filename in the message content it builds.

Here is a line from a sample html that I use for testing Blat:

<p><img src="cid:embeddedImage1.jpg">&nbsp;Test for embedded image</p>

Hi Chip,

Thank you very much. It did work. The attachment was sent and I was able to open it. Wonderful!!

I also learnt from the documentation that the image can become part of the email message. Could you provide an example for this.

I have run an example of what I am doing and included you as a recipient for your information.

Thank you

Hi Chip,

Thanks for the explanation on how to have the jpg image in the body of the
email instead of an attachment.

Below is a simple short batch file that runs my small project:

*blat -install 127.0.0.1:25 <http://127.0.0.1:25/> ***@gmail.com
<***@gmail.com> 1 - - iitikarai yck94nact*
*rsamalert_man*
*rem blat rsam_alert_man.txt -attach man1minrsam.jpg -s "MAN RSAM ALERT"
-log log.txt -to ***@gmail.com <***@gmail.com>*
*blat rsam_alert_man.txt -attach man1minrsam.jpg -html <img
src="cid:man1minrsam.jpg"> -s "MAN RSAM ALERT" -log log.txt -debug
-to ***@gmail.com <***@gmail.com>*
*del rsam_alert_man.txt*

Line 2 (rsamalert_man) is a program that processes input data and produces;

- *rsam_alert_man.txt*
*- **man1minrsam.jpg*

I added the -html line in Line 4 and it is not passing the test. It gives
the message, "The system cannot find the file specified". The jpg file is
in the folder where the batch file runs. I suspect its not passing the test
because the syntax for the -html is not correct. Would you be able to help
again on this.

Thank you.

The actual line of html for including the image needs to be within the message file itself. In other words, the content of your message file must be html.

---------------------------

Very near the bottom of my file shown above is the cid: tag that tells the html renderer to look for an embedded image within the email, and what that image name is.

My command line to send that file is this:
x64\Release\blat.exe ..\Test_Files\nfl_logos.htm -embed "..\Test_Files\embeddedImage1.jpg" -to myself -s "Testing embedded images" -p smtp4dev -log R:\blat.log

I do not need the –html option because the message filename (..\Test_Files\nfl_logos.htm) already has .htm extension, which Blat uses to look for the content type in Windows registry.

Hi Chip,

Thank you. After some effort I managed to get the graph image as the
content of the email.

After that I tried WITHOUT success to get the text notification and graph
image to both appear on the email content. I tried all possible commands
but every time the notification text always ended up as an attachment.

Please confirm that this cannot be done and I will end up sending the text
notification as the email content and the graph image as an attachment as I
sent you the other day.

Ima.

If you intend to send plain text and have the image embedded within the message, this cannot be done – strictly speaking. Email standards do not allow for plain text messages to also include embedded images. If you receive an email that has an image inside the text area, then the message format will be html or possibly rich text.

If you can format the text notification as html, then you will be able to embed the image inside your html using the method already mentioned.

There is a way to have both plain text and html in the same message, and get the embedded image inside your html. How the email is viewed at the client will determine if they see html and image, or they will see plain text with the html and image as attachments. This requires that you format a message as two files, one each for plain text and html. Blat can then use the html file as your main message, and use the plain text file as alternate text with the –alttextf option. For example: blat htmlfile.htm –alttextf plaintextfile.txt –t someone –s “Some subject matter” –embed imageFile.jpg

Hi,

I have been trying to SMS text messages to cell (mobile) phones with the
following syntax:

blat <text message> -s<subject> -to ***@digicelpng.interent.com.pg
or
blat <text message> -s<subject> -to
***@txt.digicelpng.internet.com.pg

The execution passes with no error messages however the message is not
received by the receiving cell phone.

My questions are:

(1) Does BLAT allow sending SMS to cell phones
(2) If yes, what is the wrong with the syntax I have used. What is the
correct syntax?

Thank you.

Two of your emails came through with attachments, two did not. If you
want to have images within the message, the only way I know is to use HTML
<img src="cid:man1minrsam.jpg">
The cid: tag tells the HTML viewer that the image should be part of the
email using the name that follows. When using cid: tags, do not include
path names, use _only_ the filename.
If you do use the above cid: syntax, you can them specify –embed on the
Blat command line, which may or may not include a full path to the image
file you want embedded into the HTML email. The name used with cid: must
be the filename of your image file because Blat will use that filename in
the message content it builds.

Thank you Chip. That is what I suspected and your suggestion to convert the txt file to html also crossed my mind but I thought it is too much effort to do it so will leave it as was done. Text as email and graph image as attachment.

Thanks a lot for all the help. 

Ima.

Hi Chip,
Thank you. After some effort I managed to get the graph image as the content of the email.
After that I tried WITHOUT success to get the text notification and graph image to both appear on the email content. I tried all possible commands but every time the notification text always ended up as an attachment.
Please confirm that this cannot be done and I will end up sending the text notification as the email content and the graph image as an attachment as I sent you the other day.
Ima.

 
 
If you intend to send plain text and have the image embedded within the message, this cannot be done – strictly speaking.  Email standards do not allow for plain text messages to also include embedded images.  If you receive an email that has an image inside the text area, then the message format will be html or possibly rich text.
 
If you can format the text notification as html, then you will be able to embed the image inside your html using the method already mentioned.
 
There is a way to have both plain text and html in the same message, and get the embedded image inside your html.  How the email is viewed at the client will determine if they see html and image, or they will see plain text with the html and image as attachments.  This requires that you format a message as two files, one each for plain text and html.  Blat can then use the html file as your main message, and use the plain text file as alternate text with the –alttextf option.  For example: blat htmlfile.htm –alttextf plaintextfile.txt –t someone –s “Some subject matter” –embed imageFile.jpg
