I have a script for sending HTML email messages which works fine for text and html tags but I cannot figure out why my images wont display.
function sendHtmlEmail($email, $content, $message_content){
$to = "$email";
$subject = "AeroBLOG - $content";
$message = "
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>$subject</TITLE>
<META http-equiv='content-type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8' />
<STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
$message_content
</BODY>
</HTML>
";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0
";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset: utf8
";
$headers .= 'From: <do-not-reply@aeroblog.tk>' . "
";
if(mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers)){return true;}else{return false;}
}
call to function:
$message="<A href=\"http://aeroblog.tk/\"><IMG src=\"http://aeroblog.tk/img/VerificationEmail.png\" alt=\"copy & paste this link into your browsers navigation bar: http://.........\" width=\"1024px\" height=\"768px\"></A>";
sendHtmlMail("myemail@example.com","Subject",$message);
Here is the complete email which is returned including headers:

Some e-mail servers blocks images contents from some e-mails. Did you try looking at the "source code" of the e-mail? In gmail you can find it by clicking in Show Original Message. Another thing that can be happening is that the client is not able to access the image file in your website, or the image link is incorrect.
If you still have trouble with this, I recommend using PHPMailer to send your e-mails. It's really easy to use and has a lot of functions, such as SSL and TLS or Attachments in e-mails.
