How to embed multiple images when sending html emails using java mail

Question

I am trying to send an email with javamail. I embed images and use CID. But the problem is how to embed multiple images in one message. if I try to add a title, it will just take the last title. how to add multiple images and link using cid.

MimeMultipart multipart = new MimeMultipart("related");

    // first part  (the html)
    BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
//    BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
    String htmlText = "<H1>Hello</H1><br/> <p align=center><img src=\"cid:senny\"> </p>";
    htmlText+="<p align=center><img src=\"cid:senny\"> </p>";
    htmlText+="<p align=center><img src=\"cid:image\"> </p>";
    messageBodyPart.setContent(htmlText, "text/html");

    // add it
    multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

    // second part (the image)
    messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
    DataSource fds = new FileDataSource
      ("C:\\images\\cec_header_457.png");
    DataSource fds1 = new FileDataSource
    ("C:\\images\\cec_header_420.png");
    messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
    messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds1));
    messageBodyPart.addHeader("Content-ID","<image>");
    messageBodyPart.addHeader("Content-ID","<senny>");
    // add it
    multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

    // put everything together
    message.setContent(multipart);

Answer 1

Each image should be its own MimeBodyPart, break this code,

// second part (the image)
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource fds = new FileDataSource
  ("C:\\images\\cec_header_457.png");
DataSource fds1 = new FileDataSource
("C:\\images\\cec_header_420.png");
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds1));
messageBodyPart.addHeader("Content-ID","<image>");
messageBodyPart.addHeader("Content-ID","<senny>");
// add it
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

In two parts, something like

// second part (the image)
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource fds1 = new FileDataSource
("C:\\images\\cec_header_420.png");
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds1));
messageBodyPart.addHeader("Content-ID","<senny>");
// add it
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource fds = new FileDataSource
  ("C:\\images\\cec_header_457.png");
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
messageBodyPart.addHeader("Content-ID","<image>");
// add it
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

MimeBodyPart. . , , MimeBodyPart.

public void imgUpload(Multipart multipart,String fileName) throws MessagingException

    int no = rand.nextInt();
    String contentId = Integer.toString(no);

    BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
    String htmlText = "<img align=\" center \" src=\"cid:"+contentId+"\"><br>";
    messageBodyPart.setContent(htmlText+"<br>", "text/html");

    // add it
    multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

    // second part (the image)
    messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
    DataSource fds = new FileDataSource(fileName);

    messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
    messageBodyPart.setHeader("Content-ID", "<"+contentId+">");
