Adding Attachments

To add attachments drag the files you want to attach into the file list, or use the "Add..." button to navigate to the files. You can also enter the pathname to an attachment in the "Attachments" text field. This pathname may contain template tags which will be evaluated for each message. This means you can send different attachments to each recipient. You can also put template tags in the name of the attached files you add to the file list.

Attachments Types

Mailings supports three types of attachments: inline, file and embed.

Inline: This type is for displaying the attachment in the mail message. For example, if the attachment is an image the recipient would see the image inside the mail message.

File: This type is for attachments that do not need to be displayed. The mail client may only display an icon for the file.

Embed: This is a special type of attachment used for displaying images references by an HTML message using "img" tags:

Mailings supports HTML email with embedded image attachments. Using embedded image attachments for HTML enables you to include images in the email message, rather than store them on a web server.

You can manually create an HTML email message with embedded attachments as follows, if you feel comfortable editing HTML by hand. Mailings can also automatically create this type of message if you store your images in the same folder as the HTML document, and the HTML references the images using "href" tags relative to the document. A complete example using this approach is given in Creating HTML Messages with Embedded Images.

Here is how to do it manually:
