Send Email with Images in body not Attachement in Sitecore

Question

I tried to send the email with an image in the body of email, the image is not an attachment.

I read the image from the media item in sitecore and i got the url of the image like https://domain/-/media/image.ashx next step i convert to email body using LinkedResource like below code

System.Net.Mail.LinkedResource imageResource = new 
System.Net.Mail.LinkedResource(imageUrl, "image/jpg");
imageResource.ContentId = "HDIImage";
System.Net.Mail.AlternateView htmlView = 
System.Net.Mail.AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString("<image src=cid:" + 
imageResource.ContentId + ">" + textbody, null, "text/html");
htmlView.LinkedResources.Add(imageResource);

but I have exception like the image path is not given correctly.

Answer 1

Now, I got an answer to my question. It is helpful to other developers.

Sitecore.Data.Items.MediaItem image = new Sitecore.Data.Items.MediaItem(imageField.MediaItem);
string mimetype=image.MimeType;
Stream stream = MediaManager.GetMedia(image).GetStream().Stream;

In this stage, I got an image as a stream

Next, I created the email

//Create two views, one text, one HTML.
var bodyMail="Test Message";
         
//Add image to HTML version
System.Net.Mail.LinkedResource imageResource = new System.Net.Mail.LinkedResource(stream );
imageResource.ContentId = "HDIImage";
System.Net.Mail.AlternateView htmlView = System.Net.Mail.AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString("<image src=cid:" + imageResource.ContentId + ">" + textbody, null, "text/html");
         
htmlView.LinkedResources.Add(imageResource);
//Add two views to message.
msg.AlternateViews.Add(htmlView);
