My guess is that the images are not referenced ? The
src attribute of the image tag in Revolution can be
used to refer to internal image controls, but outside
the Revolution world it needs some sort of path -- to
a server or to a local image.
You could always export the images to the temp
directory and adapt the src attribute to point to
those temp files ; that ought to clue the email client
in as to where to find the images.

Hope this helped,
