Does anyone know where I can find some more info on sending HTML email
with an embedded bitmap? I know I need to connect to a mail server on
port 25 and use SMTP protocol but how do I embed a bitmap image to
that email so that when a person opens the email they see the picture
in the body of the text? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

That only works if the receiver's mail client is horribly misconfigured.
You have to embed the image as an attachment, because good mailreaders
explicitly disallow references to remote servers. (This is because spammers
figured out that they could observe whether an image is loaded or not to
check the validity of an address. So if your mailreader loads remote images,
you will get a lot more spam than you would otherwise.)
