Create HTML email with embedded images in Delphi

Question

Create HTML email with embedded images in Delphi

Does anyone know a good example of creating HTML email with inline images and alternative text? I need to create some tabular reports in HTML and embed logos and other images.

I believe Indy can do this with some work, but I was hoping someone could point me to a good example as a starting point. I am open to using non-Indy libraries and commercially available solutions. Quality and lead time are more important than cost. The solution should also support SMTP-based delivery to the mail exchanger.

Another item on my wishlist is the ability to use FastReports, TRichView, or a similar tool to create HTML message content. HTML output filters are available for both, but I was not able to do any testing. Any feedback on this will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I currently use the Clever Component email client, although not free.

TurboPower Internet (OpenSource) controls have worked great for me in the past.
