The src attribute of an HTML <img> element must be the URI of an image resource acceptable to the HTML renderer on your platform. I have never heard of anything that supports formats other than GIF, JPG or PNG files, so I don't th/ink your PDF file stands a chance. I don't know any way of rendering a PDF file as a component of an HTML page. CID is an abbreviation for Content ID, and must be the ID of one of the mail's attachments. You have given the only attachment an ID of 'cruisin', so you would want to write <img src="cid:cruisin"> But I would prefer to see something based on the resource name, something like <img src="cid:08Bike.jpg"> and Id => '08Bike,jpg', Path => '/home/someuser/08Bike.jpg', HTH, Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
