It is possible. If you are sending a multipart MIME message, attach
the image as MIME type image/gif or image/jpeg with a particular name,
and then inside your HTML attachment reference the image like so:
<img src="cid:myimage.gif">
I'm personally using a Perl module, MIME::Lite, as the basis for the
above. There may be other ways to implement it. I imagine that
Manuel Lemos' PHP Classes site has a class that would take care of
this for you...
