Adding CID tags for attachments

[danielhomola]

Hi there,

This took me a while to figure out but basically with this tiny modification, any attachment (images primarily) can be used as inline images within the HTML email like:

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

This will only work if the image files are in the root directory (as I'm parsing out all parent folders from the path) but in that case it works like a charm, and even Gmail likes it and displays the image automatically within the body of the email at the designated location as opposed to just having the image be at bottom like some random attachment..

I thought this is quite a big improvement..

What is this replace function doing exactly?

Sorry I should have left a comment. It's just fishing out the filename from the path so you can reference the img in a html email easily by its name and a prefixed cid tag. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/423385
