Sending mail along with embedded image using javamail

I want to send mail along with embedded image. For that i have used the below code. Its not full code. Its a part of code 

        Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart("related");
        // Create the message part 
        BodyPart messageBodyPart;
        messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
        messageBodyPart.setText(msgBody); // msgbody contains the contents of the html file
        messageBodyPart.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html");
        multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

        //add file attachments
        DataSource source;
        File file = new File("D:/sample.jpeg");
        if(file.exists()){
            // add attachment
            messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
            source = new FileDataSource(file);
            messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
            messageBodyPart.setFileName(file.getName());
            messageBodyPart.setHeader("Content-ID", "<BarcodeImage>");
            messageBodyPart.setDisposition("inline");
            multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
        }

        // Put parts in message
        msg.setContent(multipart);
        Transport.send(msg);

Problem i am facing is, i can get the mail but cant acle to see the image.. Its not get displaying in the mail.

Change the "relative" to "alternative", then you will get the image as an attachment. 

    Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart("alternative");

I've stumbled on the similar problem. Following post helped me a lot: How to send email with embedded images using Java The most important part of the code is:

String cid = generateCID();
MimeBodyPart textPart = new MimeBodyPart();
textPart.setText("<html><head>"
+ "<title>This is not usually displayed</title>"
+ "</head>n"
+ "<body><div><strong>Hi there!</strong></div>"
+ "<div>Sending HTML in email is so <em>cool!</em> </div>n"
+ "<div>And here's an image: <img src=\"cid:\"" + cid + " /></div>" 
+ "<div>I hope you like it!</div></body></html>",
"US-ASCII", "html");
content.addBodyPart(textPart);

MimeBodyPart imagePart = new MimeBodyPart();
imagePart.attachFile("resources/teapot.jpg");
imagePart.setContentID("<" + cid + ">");
imagePart.setDisposition(MimeBodyPart.INLINE);
content.addBodyPart(imagePart);

Function generateCID() must return unique String. For example:

java.util.UUID.randomUUID()

Change new MimeMultipart("related"); to new MimeMultipart(); (and optionally msg.setContent(multipart); to msg.setContent(multipart,"multipart/related");) Also make sure you change img src=\"cid:BarcodeImage\" to img src="cid:BarcodeImage". It should work then.

Try getting rid of the following line:

messageBodyPart.setDisposition("inline");
