Not so strange in my view as your requirements are rather specific. If
you accepted what existing packages do "out of the box" then you won't
have to learn php to customize your form. It's just in the nature of
the beast, IMO.

The php email packages deal specifically with how to send a variety of
email types from within php. You want to _embed_ a graphic in an email
body which requires you to learn how to encode create your own in-line
attachment and encode them rather than let a package do it for you. If
this is beyond your skill level, hire someone or change the requirements.
