so this sends an auto response to the customer but this just plain text would i be able to add a photo as an attacthment or is this ASP.NET code is to old? please let me know if you dont understand the code.

Answer 1

I think you're best bet would be to ensure your body was HTML and then just include an

<img src ="http://www.yourwebsite.com/yourimage.jpg" />

tag in it and link to an image thats located on your website. This way the size of the email is still small and you can format your email as you please.

Answer 2

I've never heard of AppSendMail. Are you using a custom mail library?

If you use the standard .NET mail API (System.Net.Mail), you can easily add attachments and use Html format for the body in order to use rich text.

Here's a sample of attaching a file to an email using System.Net.Mail.MailMessage class:
