Some email applications will allow you to send images as part of the email itself, so called embedded, but PM does not work like that. Attached is not the same thing. When you move files from the location where you had them when originally attached, PM looses track (Claris Emailer as far as I remember kept track all over the harddrive, no matter where you moved the files to, which was always really cool) - if you look at the images at the bottom of the email you will see the images still, but grayed out, this means that you had 3 images attached but PM no longer has the path to them. PM does not know if you trashed them or what you did. The attached images are NOT part of the email with PM (and several other email clients), think of them rather as: located by path and send with the email going out.
