How do I open local .msg files in web browser (html format) and display embedded pictures

Question

I know how to open local .msg files in webbrowser in html format.

The problem is when the .msg has embedded pictures, the only thing that appears is a blank space ("picture not found") where it is supposed to be.

If I open the .msg file in Outlook, I see the images correctly, but in my program I can't see embedded pictures.

I'm using Vb .Net and I'm very newbie.

Answer 1

Embedded images are attachments. Use some API able to read .msg file format and get attachments and insert/link in the html body

Answer 2

Save the message in the MHTML format - it embeds the pictures.
