<img width="272" height="185" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANS..." />

Hi Srinivasa,

Html format provider can be customized such as you can handle an event each time an image should be loaded from URL. Here is some code that demonstrates the approach:

HtmlFormatProvider provider = new HtmlFormatProvider();
var myHtmlImportsettings = new HtmlImportSettings();
myHtmlImportsettings.LoadImageFromUrl += new EventHandler<LoadImageEventArgs>(myHtmlImportsettings_LoadImageFromUrl);
provider.ImportSettings = myHtmlImportsettings;

void myHtmlImportsettings_LoadImageFromUrl(object sender, LoadImageEventArgs e)
{
    //Get stream from e.Url here:
    e.Url
    //then load the image with the appropriate extension
    e.ImageElement.Init(inputStream, "png");
}

The problem in your case would be to get the image from the Exchange server. You may try doing this via Silverlight WebClient and a separate web-service that would provide the images given the exchange image url. Unfortunately we do not have any experience with such a task.

All the best,
