Outlook message with inserted picture from command line

Question

I often generate figure files (*.png) that I need to email to my coworkers. The communication is better if the image is embedded in the message body rather than attached. We all use Microsoft Outlook. It would make my life simpler if I could use the command line to open a new outlook message with a specified picture inserted in the body. The following command opens a new message and attaches the figure file,

outlook.exe /c ipm.note /a c:\temp\test.png

But instead I want the figure embedded in the body of the message. Suggestions?

Answer 1

Go to Tools -> Options -> Mail Format. Change it to Rich Text instead of HTML. Once the default Mail body has been changed if you run your command line the Attachments will be embedded in the mail's body.
