You can embed images using data URI as described at RFC 2397 - The "data" URL scheme .

But data URIs are almost blocked by programs/web sevices and completly blocked by outlook.

that RFC is rather meant for viewing HTML pages in browsers, not mail clients. and its usage is problematic, as you pointed out.

similar concept for mails is defined by RFC2392 and is known as content ID locator (CID)
