I have a stored procedure for sending email in html format and my database server is installed on unix platform.

I wanna insert a banner image in the email. I was told that I cannot put that banner image on the web server, so I cannot set a specific URL for the image in my stored procedure.

I tried to put that image on my database server, e.g /home/dev/images/banner.jpg. However, would it work if I specific that image link like /home/dev/images/banner.jpg in my SP? What should I do if i wanna make use of the image on that path? I saw some other websites that the others will specific the link like c:\dev\images\banner.jpg so they can send the image from that path.

What I should do? I got no ideas, thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers

A quick hack to fix it is:

lv_encoded_subject:= REPLACE(UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(UTL_ENCODE.QUOTED_PRINTABLE_ENCODE(UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW(lv_Subject))), '=' || CHR(13) || CHR(10), '');
UTL_SMTP.WRITE_DATA(lv_Conn, 'Subject: =?UTF-8?Q?' || lv_encoded_subject || '?=' || UTL_TCP.CRLF);

This smashes the line back together again. It breaks the spec, and code that correctly constructs the quoted printable string should be used — but this worked everywhere I tried it.

I tried this example into an Oracle 9 and it worked perfectly until I wrote a subject greater than 60 characters (approximattely). It truncates the subject at this position.

Any idea?
