Attachment imgAtt2 = new Attachment(Server.MapPath("\\images\\twiter.gif"));

imgAtt1.ContentId = "\\images\\fb.gif";
imgAtt2.ContentId = "\\images\\twiter.gif";

mailmess.To.Clear();
smtpserver.Send(mailmess);
mailmess.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnFailure;
mailmess.Dispose();

Rao r usure that image present in such location. if yes then you can use ~ or .. before starting of path.
Method 1:
Attachment imgAtt1 = new Attachment(Server.MapPath("~\\images\\fb.gif"));
Attachment imgAtt2 = new Attachment(Server.MapPath("~\\images\\twiter.gif"));
Method 2:
Attachment imgAtt1 = new Attachment(Server.MapPath("..\\images\\fb.gif"));
Attachment imgAtt2 = new Attachment(Server.MapPath("..\\images\\twiter.gif"));
also make sure that images folder name is in small letters.

use "~" symbol instead of "\" to escape path.

we can use in three ways
1.Attachment imgAtt1 = new Attachment(Server.MapPath("~/images/fb.gif"));

2.Attachment imgAtt1 = new Attachment(Server.MapPath("../images/fb.gif"));

string strpath="file_full_path/images/fb.gif";
3.Attachment imgAtt1 = new Attachment(Server.MapPath('"+strpath+"'));

I think in your code , we should change the slash,try like below
string path = Server.MapPath("~/BOQ_Uploads/" + filename);

Hello Narasiman,

Use this....
Attachment imgAtt1 = new Attachment(Server.MapPath("~\images\fb.gif"));
Attachment imgAtt2 = new Attachment(Server.MapPath("~\images\twiter.gif"));
