To reference images attached as linked // resources from your HTML message body, use "cid:contentID" // in the <img> tag... string htmlBody = "<html><body><h1>Picture</h1><br>" + "<img src=\"cid:SampleImage\"></body></html>"; AlternateView htmlView = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString( htmlBody, null, MediaTypeNames.Text.Html); // ...and then define the actual LinkedResource matching the // ContentID property as found in the image tag. In this case, // the HTML message includes the tag // <img src=\"cid:SampleImage\"> and the following // Linke
