I had the same questions a month or two ago... this solution provided
as a courtesy from Shao Sean:
	
You need to embed the image inline as base64 data..

<img src="data:[MIMETYPE];base64,[DATA]">

(note, the square brackets are part of the placeholders and should not
appear in the final code)

A quick break-down of the syntax

<img src="      -- standard html
data:           -- tells the parser that we are using inline data
instead of a url
[MIMETYPE]      -- mime type of the image (ie. image/png)
;                       -- separator
base64          -- encoding method (best to stick with base64 for binary data)
,                       -- separator between the 'header' and the
'data' (yes, a comma)
[DATA]          -- base64 encoded data for the image
">                      -- standard html
