Attachment base64 in emailjs

I use emailjs for sending email. I have base64 string. When i send html body with

attachment:
[
   {data:"<html> <body> <img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAFA3PEY8..."> </body> </html>", alternative:true}
]

Not all e-mail clients display the <img src="base64"> (eg gmail web or Outlook)

I want to attach a file from base64. How can I do it?

I tried so but the picture comes damaged:

attachment:
[
  {data:"data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAFA3PEY8...", encoded:true, name:"file.jpeg",type:"image/jpeg"},
]

PS: my server settings:

"host" : "smtp.gmail.com",
"user" : "***@gmail.com",
"password" : "******",
"ssl" : true,
"port" : 465

Try to add the base64 string without the format data (I had the same problem but managed to fix it this way):

attachment:
[
   {data:"/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAFA3PEY8...", encoded:true, name:"file.jpeg",type:"image/jpeg"},
]

In other words, get the data string without anything else. You could use something like this to match it:

var data = yourBase64DataUrl.match(/base64,(.+)$/);
var base64String = matches[1];

...

attachment: [
    {data: base64String, encoded:true, name:"file.jpeg",type:"image/jpeg"},
]
