Format the email as HTML and include the image as an <img> tag.

True, this is the perfect answer. I have used it and it really works. Thank you.

Most email clients will by default block all images in mail content, by default - especially commercial looking mails. So if possible, do not use images at all.

So true, when i did my ecard mod all the hotmail people got was a box with an x in it because hotmail by default blocks images. So what i had to do was change the email to have them log on to look at their ecards and build a view page for them to see them.


So if you are planning to send images in email, take that into consideration as alemcherry said and save yourself alot of work.

Some email clients have actually started blocking text too. Now we're at a situation where you have to use whitespace to get your message across.
