I have CamPermanent setup to email me an image when motion is detected. The program does email me an attached image. However, even after selecting to place the image "inline" I still can't see the image. The image shows up as missing in the email body (small box with X in the middle).

I can view the attached image but I cannot view the inline image.

Also, the time of day the email was sent always reads 12:00 am therefore I can't tell when the motion was detected based on the email.

I am using Mozilla Thunderbird. There is no option to view images for these received emails so that is not the problem.
I am using CamPermanent version 2.3.01 and it is registered even though it states it is not the registered full version (I don't know why it states that).

Below is what I thought to be the pertinent source code from the email.

Code:

--#SEPERATOR1# Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="#SEPERATOR2#" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable --#SEPERATOR2# Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Here comes a picture ...<br><img src=3D"cid:motion"><br> --#SEPERATOR2#-- --#SEPERATOR1# Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=motion.jpg Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=motion.jpg Content-ID: motion (REMOVED BASE64 IMAGE CODE - IT WAS TESTED AND VALID) --#SEPERATOR1#--

* sorry for the wide post. I couldn't figure out how to wrap it without breaking the working code. Admin: feel free to edit and delete the length after it's usefulness is done.

Some more information as I am comparing source code of emails. The date provided by CamPermanent in the email is formated as:

DATE: Tuesday, February 19, 2008

All my other received emails from various locations are formated as:

Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2008 20:22:45 GMT
Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2008 17:35:23 -0500

As you can see, the timestamp is missing which is why all my emails are listed as having been received at 12:00 am

I ran a base64_decode() on the inline image and it is valid. An image does appear.
Based on that, I will attempt to edit my first post to reduce the length.

** However, I still need a fix to view the image inline in my email client. That doesn't work for me.

bump

So, maybe these issues are being addressed in the next version of CamPermanent?

Just a guess but the x instead of an image could due antivirus/security settings for your email.

Are inline images normally OK? Maybe you could test it by sending an email with a inline image to yourself.

I have fixed this for Thunderbird, Outlook was already ok!

Yes! I have tried once more to receive the emails from CamPermanent with inline images!
- in Thunderbird you see only the missing box and the images are attached.
- Outlook Express 6 works well
- Outlook 2003 works well

I don't know the difference in the email format which Thunderbird needs to display the inline images. I have searched the web but nothing special found!
I'm glad if someone have an idea!

Thanks. And in return, I have the answer to why inline images don't work on Thunderbird. Two issues:

- Your Content-Type for the image must be an image content type.
Content-Type: image/jpeg; name=motion3.jpg

- Your separators are not quite correctly inserted.
--#SEPERATOR1#
describe email and boundary

--#SEPERATOR2#
insert html

--#SEPERATOR2#
define inline image

--#SEPERATOR2#-- (close separator 2)

--#SEPERATOR1#-- (close separator 1)

Your message:

Code:

This is a multi-part message. --#SEPERATOR1# Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="#SEPERATOR2#" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable --#SEPERATOR2# Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Here comes a picture ...<br><img src="cid:motion3"><br> --#SEPERATOR2#-- --#SEPERATOR1# Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=motion3.jpg Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=motion3.jpg Content-ID: motion3 INSERT-IMAGE-CODE-HERE --#SEPERATOR1#--

Corrected:

Code:

This is a multi-part message. --#SEPERATOR1# Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="#SEPERATOR2#" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable --#SEPERATOR2# Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> </head> Here comes a picture ...<br><img src="cid:motion3"><br> </body> </html> --#SEPERATOR2# Content-Type: image/jpeg; name=motion3.jpg Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-ID: motion3 Content-Disposition: inline; filename=motion3.jpg INSERT-IMAGE-CODE-HERE --#SEPERATOR2#-- --#SEPERATOR1#--

As for the license, I must have gotten side tracked or something. I didn't realize that step 6 of the license procedure was necessary. I don't know why. lol.

Hello,

I have tried this in Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.6 and it doesn't work.

Please could you send me via email a *.eml file which works for you
and which I can open in Thunderbird (File/File open ...).

I sent it to you via email. Two versions.... the original and the fixed versions.

I haven't got this email yet.

Please could you resend it!

Perhaps it got filtered... all that email header code could trigger a spam alert.

To avoid the lost email... you can download the two files here.

I don't mind helping since it only means a better product for me in the end.

Thank you, I will try it in the next days!
