title: get absolute path for an image to send in email
body: <p>I have a view (with one or more images) that I also want to use as the body of an email message. The Model serving the view uses <code>Url.Content()</code> to retrieve the absolute image path. This approach works fine for web pages, but when I render the exact same view as the body of the email, then the image can not be found which is suggested by the incomplete path from the rendered html.</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;img src="/Media/fe882a1d-3b77-4264-ab91-cade985ecbed.JPG"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know that this problem can be fixed if I could access the full url such as with <code>Url.Action</code> with the </p>
  
  <pre><code>Request.Url.Scheme
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>overload for protocol. Is there a way to determine the fully qualified URL from <code>Url.Content</code>? </p>
