I have a powershell script that embedds (not attaches) a picture and sends an email. The picture has increased now to 1500x5000 pixels and now I'm seeing that the pictures lenth gets compressed and it distorts the picture. How ever, when I manually insert the picture via outlook and send an email, it looks fine.
If i save the picture and then open it via paint or something, the picture opens fine. It just looks compressed in the email. Anyone know what may be going on there?

<img src='cid:pict'/>"
$msg.IsBodyHTML = $true
$smtp.Send($msg)
$att.Dispose()
invoke-expression "DEL $file"
}
here is what the picture looks like in the email.
Try adding
$att.ContentDisposition.Inline = $true
I suspect some default behavior is happening under the covers and it's just not consistent between the script and Outlook.

It seems like your email client shrinks content to a certain maximum size. Try putting <img src='cid:pict'/> in a <div> environment:
<div style="overflow: scroll">
<img src='cid:pict'/>
</div>
Also, if you have any way to retrieve the actual pixel width of the image, you can try to set the CSS of the <img> tag accordingly.
By asking this I may sound like a noob, but Just out of Curiosity, if you have a manual way to send an email via Outlook, why not to make a script to send an automated email with desired screenshot?
IDK, if this might help you or not, but I had made this script long back, for my daily reporting purposes. Well, it fits the bill. Sharing it here, for your views on it.
#In this segment, I navigate IE to my specific destination, screen which I want to capture.
$ie = New-Object -ComObject InternetExplorer.Application

while($Website.Busy){Start-Sleep -Seconds 5}
#In this class, script captures the screen, once, all the data loading is over.
$file = "C:\Users\Desktop\$(Get-Date -Format dd-MM-yyyy-hhmm).bmp"
#P.S. I made it to save that screenshot with current date and time format. Also, default screenshot will be captured in .BMP format.

$Graphics = [System.Drawing.Graphics]::FromImage($bitmap)

Write-Output $File

$mail.Body = "PFA screenshot, of all outstanding formation as on $(Get-Date -Format dd-MM-yyyy-hhmm)"

I am just answering this, since, I tried commenting above, but I guess, my reputation score is way too less to do that.
Hope this might be helpful for you to find a workaround.
Happy coding. :)
HTML code: is <img src='cid:pict'/> supposed to be <img src='cid:pict'> -just remove the forward slash?
Added: This link might help talking about embedding pic in email. base64 encoded images in email signatures. You can try generation base64 code and put it in email body HTML.

I would like to automate a task from my work using MS Powershell. Please, see my code below that log in the website. This code is working fine.
$username = "usern"
$password = "pass"
$ie = New-Object -com InternetExplorer.Application
$ie.visible=$true
$ie.navigate("http://www.exemple.com")
while($ie.ReadyState -ne 4) {start-sleep -m 100}
$ie.document.IHTMLDocument3_getElementByID("textfield").value = $username
$ie.document.IHTMLDocument3_getElementByID("textfield2").value = $password
$ie.document.IHTMLDocument3_getElementByID("btnLogin").Click();
Now, in order to download the report I need to extract a number from the HTML body and insert it into a variable. The reason I'm doing that is because this number changes every time I access the page. Please, see the following image, where the number is located inside the HTML Body of the webpage. It's always 12 digits:
This is my problem. I cannot get this number inside a variable. If I could, then I would finalize the Powershell code with the script below.
$output = "C:\Users\AlexSnake\Desktop\WeeklyReport\ReportName.pdf"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://www.exemple.com.br/pdf_pub/xxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf -OutFile $output
Where you see 'xxx..' I would replace for the variable and download the report
After this bit of your code
while($ie.ReadyState -ne 4) {start-sleep -m 100}
Try this:
$($ie.Document.getElementsByTagName("a")).href | ForEach {
# The next line isn't necessary, but just to demonstrate iterating through all the anchor tags in the page (feel free to comment it out)
Write-Host "This is the href tag that I'm enumerating through: $_"
# And this bit checks for that number you're looking for and returns it:
if( $_ -match "javascript:openwindow('/\.\./\.\./[\d+]\.pdf'.*)" )
{
$matches[1]
}
}
This should work.
See the code below with the answer for my question.
$($ie.Document.getElementsByTagName("a")).href | ForEach {
if( $_ -match '(\d+)\.pdf' )
{
$matches[1]
}
}
Thanks!
I have an email that works from PS. What I have been trying to do is include images embedded in the email (not attachments). Below is what I have so far:
function Email
{
$smtpServer = {smtp server}
$smtpFrom = {email from}
$smtpTo = {email to}
$messageSubject = "test"
$message = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage $smtpfrom, $smtpto
$message.Subject = $messageSubject
$message.IsBodyHTML = $true
$credentials=new-object system.net.networkcredential({smtpUsername},{smtpPassword})
# $message.Body = Get-Content "D:\Program Files\CymbaTech_FBNC_AM\CTDataLoader\data\TestBody.html"
# The line below will add any attachments you have such as log files.
$message.Attachments.Add("{path}\Image1.png")
$message.Body = '<img src="cid:xyz">'
$smtp = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer)
$smtp.credentials=$credentials.getcredential($smtpserver,"25","basic")
$smtp.Send($message)
}
In the above, I have added image tags to the Body.html file. If I open the html directly, it looks as expected with images showing correctly.
When I send the mail however, the images are just displayed as white boxes with a border. Seems that the script is not loading the images in the file.
Has anyone done similar before and have any suggestions?
You must add images as regular attachments. The HTML body must then reference these attachments though the cid attribute: <img src="cid:xyz"> where "xyz" is the value of the Content-ID MIME attribute on the attachment MIME part.
I'm using powershell to notify a high number of users about an expiration date of a document.
I have my script prepared
$smtpServer = "xxxxx.contoso.com"
$msg = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage
$smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer)
$msg.From = New-Object Net.Mail.mailaddress "xxxx#contoso.es", "xxx yyy zzz"
$msg.ReplyTo = "no-reply#contoso.es"
$msg.To.Add("xxx#contoso.es")
$msg.bcc.add($bcc)
$msg.subject = "Expiration notification"
$msg.body = I need to include HTML content, or MHT or bin as outlook message format.
$smtp.Send($msg)
But the email body was preformatted using outlook, so it contains images, preformated text etc. Which would be the best way to include that kind of content in the message body??
Thank you!
It should work if you add the Body as an html string and also add the line:
$msg.IsBodyHTML = true

I have this PS script it logins to a site and then it navigate's to another page.
I want to save whole source for that page. but for some reason. some parts of source code is not coming across.
$username = "myuser"
$password = "mypass"
$ie = New-Object -com InternetExplorer.Application
$ie.visible=$true
$ie.navigate("http://www.example.com/login.shtml")
while($ie.ReadyState -ne 4) {start-sleep -m 100}
$ie.document.getElementById("username").value = "$username"
$ie.document.getElementById("pass").value = "$password"
$ie.document.getElementById("frmLogin").submit()
start-sleep 5
$ie.navigate("http://www.example.com/thislink.shtml")
$ie.Document.body.outerHTML | Out-File -FilePath c:\sourcecode.txt
Here is pastebin of code which is not coming across
http://pastebin.com/Kcnht6Ry
After you navigate, check for the Ready State again instead of using a sleep. The same code that you had will work.
It appears after running the code, the sleep may not be long enough if the site is slow to load.
while($ie.ReadyState -ne 4) {start-sleep -m 100}
It also looks like there is another post regarding this
innerHTML converts CDATA to comments It looks like some one created a function on that page where you can clean it up. It would be something like this once you have the function declared in your code
htmlWithCDATASectionsToHtmlWithout($ie.Document.body.outerHTML) | Out-File -FilePath c:\sourcecode.txt
I agree with #tkrn regarding using the while loop to wait for IE document to be ready. And for that I recommend to use at least 2 seconds inside the loop.
while($ie.ReadyState -ne 4) {start-sleep -s 2}
Still I found an easier way to get the whole HTML source page exactly from the URL. Here it is:
$ie.Document.parentWindow.execScript("var JSIEVariable = new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(document);", "javascript")
$obj = $ie.Document.parentWindow.GetType().InvokeMember("JSIEVariable", 4096, $null, $ie.Document.parentWindow, $null)
$HTMLDoc = $obj.ToString()
Now, $HTMLDoc has the whole HTML source page intact and you can save it as html file.
