Well, you've got the image in the email; all you need is to get it to
work with the html. You already have the file name, etc - or you
wouldn't have been able to attack it to the email.

So, what is the result you want? Not something nebulous such as
"convert the filename into the appropriate "<img src" html" - EXACTLY
what do you want? I.e. if I send you example.jpg, what does the
resultant raw html in your email look like?

Once you can answer that, your PHP code is easy.
