Hi.

When I try to create a html mail with .net´s SmtpClient with pictures and send it, outlook and gmail cannot see the image borders.

If I in outlook save the mail as a html file, I can easily see the borders.
The weird thing is that the main header image has no problem being shown.

Ive tried change the format of the pictures to gif or jpg, but its the same. Ive also tried skipping css, and set the background attribute in the td´s, but that didnt work neither.

You can see the html file here: http://14rs.dk/MailTest.htm[^] (Its very simple!)

Hope you can help! Thanks alot :)

Did you add the images as attachment with relative links? Deu to spam the images won't be loaded from external sources.

No the imagelinks are absolute. Like this: background-image:url(http://www.14rs.dk/Images/ContentCornerTopLeft.gif);

Hey,

you can give complete url of the image (like http://www.vadluri.com/images/img1.jpg).
you should upload images into server not in localhost.

if you want only image border
<img src="img path" border="1" alt=""/>
