The problem is not formatting the email, the problem is getting the php
to take the image, whose name I can't know, and embedding it into the
email. The php code constructs the email using my template and the data
input by the user. Since I don't know the name of the file, and it is
stored in a temp directory, I need the code that will place the image
where I want it. In other words: it needs to convert the filename into
the appropriate "<img src" html.

I'm sure this seems very simple to all the code gurus, but I have found
nothing that even comes close to this in any of the tutorials I have
read.

I have thought about saving the images to a permanent directory and
changing the name to make the html easier, but there are several
reasons to keep the original name and I don't want to keep the images
on the server. So I need some php to assemble the html using unknown
values.

So far I have the image attached to the email, but not embedded. My
attempt at embedding it resulted in the filename being displayed where
the image should be. So it is not just a matter of html formatting.
