image attachments in dtml-sendmail and dtml-mime
I have benn having a problem with attaching images to a dtml-sendmail. The following is my dtml code : <dtml-sendmail mailhost="MailHost"> To: Feedback Recipient <matt.bion@eudoramail.com> From: Zope Feedback Form <matt.bion@eudoramail.com> Subject: Feedback from the web Feedback from : Matt <dtml-mime type=image/jpeg encode=7bit><dtml-var "paris"> </dtml-mime> </dtml-sendmail> "paris" is the ID of an image I uploaded into a node inherited when I action this dtml document, so there are no key errors or similar. The result in the email I get is : Feedback from : Matt Comments: Hello there, this is a sample email message for testing. Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="127.0.0.1.500.953.971655250.628.16056" --127.0.0.1.500.953.971655250.628.16056 Content-Type: image/jpeg Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <img src="http://localhost:8080/admin_test/paris" alt="paris" height="630" width="472" border="0"> --127.0.0.1.500.953.971655250.628.16056-- I understand that the dtml-mime tag is modifying the action of dtml-var that follows it, but what I want is the actual text coded binary to be dumped and not a source tag ... i.e. it's an email, not a webpage. I thought of embedding that in an external method that returns the text coded binary w.r.t the encoding type placed in the attributes, but was wondering if there was a method like this already available, and maybe not just image centric.

i don't have much experience with the mime-tags but, if you're problem seems to be that you want the binary data of the image. when the dtml tag renders its just dropping a string link to the Image. what you want here is (i think) the binary data that represents the image. hmmm... looking through the source of Image.py i don't see a web accessible manner to get this info:( another option is to set the mime on the email to text/html and send the image as a link.

spoke to soon.. replace <dtml-var "paris"> with <dtml-var "paris.data"> Kapil Matt wrote:

Thanks Kapil, that works brilliantly, I didn't see a 'data' member in the quick reference and certainly didn't see a data() method which I was expecting. I guess I should be looking at the source. The following is what I ended up with <dtml-sendmail mailhost="MailHost"> To: Feedback Recipient <matt.bion@eudoramail.com> From: Zope Feedback Form <matt.bion@eudoramail.com> Subject: Feedback from the web Feedback from : Matt Comments: <dtml-var some_text> <dtml-mime type=image/jpeg encode=base64 name=paris.jpg><dtml-var "paris.data"> </dtml-mime> </dtml-sendmail> Giving the mime tag a name and setting encoding to base64 made it a nicer experience at the other end. thanks Matt Bion Kapil Thangavelu wrote:
