Hi Greg,

I am generating an email that contains a dynamically generated image
in it. I have a method in the component that returns the NSData for
the image, but when it sends the email, it only has a link to the
image, and not the image data itself. Because the link to the
component will no doubt be invalid by the time the recipient wants to
view the image means that the current way is no good. Is there some
way for the component to embed the image data some how?
How about a lateral solution: store the image in the database and use a
direct action to access it when the user reads their email. This way
the image could still be embedded in the emailed component.
Alternatively, if you don't require the image to be embedded in the
emailed component, then you can do as (I think) Chuck is suggesting.
Just include the image as an attachment - Project WONDER should help
you do that relatively easy.
I think the difficult part would be trying to put the image as an
attachment and still have it appear in the emailed component.
Disclaimer: I have little experience with any of this ;-)
Cheers,
Ashley.
