I generated another email that uses the template attachments instead
of the regular attachments, but they are still the base64 app/octet
stream, which I don't know how to make show as an image (seems the
mail reader would have to parse this value and render the image).
------=_Part_0_23886295.1158094765482
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=ISS0xxxxxx.GIF
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=ISS0xxxxxx.GIF
Content-ID: ISS0xxxxxx.GIF
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Dan, how would one go about rendering that image in the mail message?
What mail reader do you use?

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.
