Is it possible to put images in an email without them showing up like this?
yeah it uses this really neat semantic rendering programming language for serving structured documents across servers
It's a bit tricky, but anyone with at least a Masters in CompSci should be able to parse some of it enough to get the gist. Bear in mind that the "source" is abbreviated to src, and "image" similarly. The rest is coding that gives the computer instructions, you'll also need to replace FILENAME in the code with the actual filename. It goes like this
Let me know if I can explain it more clearly.
Multi-part MIME containing inline images is actually what you're looking for and it's fairly easy to implement.
Here's an example. They handwave over the html section that actually refers to the inline images that they embed, but that's the basic layout you need.
