Remarks
EmbedText method does the same as
Embed method. The only difference is that EmbedText expects image contents as a String representation.
Text parameter expects either encoded, or plaintext value.
ContentType parameter represents type of the image being embedded. This value will be assigned to Content-Type header related to message part containing the embedded image.
Encoding parameter represents value of
'Content-Transfer-Encoding' header that will be automatically set for the image. Depending on this setting, component will expect provided
Text parameter to already hold contents in specified encoding. If Encoding parameter is set to
encUNKNOWN, the component will by try encoding into Base64 format.
Make sure you set
ContentType argument properly, otherwise image will not be displayed correctly. For GIF images, you should set image/gif, and for JPEG images you should set image/jpeg.
