In addition to the comments above  I have the following additional comments   Do not mix Attachments and AlternativeView  use one or the other  If you mix them  the inline attachments will be rendered as unknown downloads  While Outlook and Google allow standard HTML-style  quot cid att-001 quot  this does NOT work on iPhone  late 2016 patch level   rather use pure alpha numeric  quot cid att-001 quot  - gt   quot cid att001 quot   As an aside  Outlook  even Office 2015  rendering  still the clear majority for business users  requires the use of TABLE TR TD style HTML  as it does not fully support the HTML box model

The other solution is attaching the image as attachment and then referencing it html code using cid  HTML Code    lt html gt   lt head gt   lt  head gt   lt body gt       lt img width 100 height 100 id   1   src   cid Logo jpg   gt   lt  body gt   lt  html gt    C  Code   EmailMessage email   new EmailMessage service   email Subject    Email with Image   email Body   new MessageBody BodyType HTML  html   email ToRecipients Add  abc xyz com    string file     C  Users acv Pictures Logo jpg   email Attachments AddFileAttachment  Logo jpg   file   email Attachments 0  IsInline   true  email Attachments 0  ContentId    Logo jpg   email SendAndSaveCopy
