You've sparked my interest, digging a little deeper.
Here is how the email engine includes the attachments with the
messages it generates:
------=_Part_121_540190.1158091033374
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----=_Part_122_19287723.1158091033374"
------=_Part_121_540190.1158091033374
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=pic32524.gif
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=pic32524.gif
Content-ID: pic32524.gif
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
So the attachment is a base64 encoded application/octet-stream.
Found this interesting, but not very informative:

Found this more insightful, specifically section 5.2:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2387.txt
It looks as if it is is possible, but it is MTA and mail reader
specific; not to mention the fact that Remedy would have to format the
messages using this format, which I do not believe is possible.

As I stated to Axton, I get spam with imbedded images, quite frequently (ask
the SEC, it is THE method used by fraudlent securities messages.) It maybe
the method that is needed here to get the business' image file into the
message.
How this is done, I don't know. Take a look at some of the messages here to
see how to place an image in the message.

In Outlook it's possible to to attach an image directly to the HTML
formatted email...but it increases the size of the email...so I think that's
the reason that it's not done in spam...too much bandwidth considerations
when sending it out...I think that's the E in Object Linking & Embedding
(OLE)...but I've never tried to get templates to work. I think Axton's
suggestion is a good one though...it will definitely keep the email size
smaller

If you are using html templates and you want to show the images in the
email, place the images on a web server and reference them in your html. I
do not believe it is possible to have attachments delivered with the email
and shown in the email. Take a look at all the spam you get, they all
reference images on web server; none of them include attached images.
