Post BLOB image in an html content

Question

I have a HTML content which will go as a body of the email to be sent to various users.
Now in the email, somewhere there is a tag
<img src="[IMG]"/>
We need to replace the [IMG] with the image link store in the database column, so that the email receiver can see the image there.
Any help
Thanks
Deb

Hi Tony
I am using something like this
<img src="WRT.DISPLAY_TEMPLATE_IMAGE?inid=189" width="100%" border="0" >
where DISPLAY_TEMPLATE_IMAGE is a procedure with the following code
create or replace
PROCEDURE display_template_image (inid NUMBER)
AS
vmime VARCHAR2 (48);
vlength NUMBER;
vfilename VARCHAR2 (2000);
vblob BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT ctl_image_mime_type
, ctl_image
, ctl_image_filename
, DBMS_LOB.getlength (ctl_image)
INTO vmime
, vblob
, vfilename
, vlength
FROM contact_templates
WHERE ctl_id = inid;
OWA_UTIL.mime_header (NVL (vmime, 'application/octet'), FALSE);
HTP.p ('Content-length: ' || vlength);
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file (vblob);
END;
The above procedure works fine when I use it in a IR report query. but not in a HTML script.
Thanks
