His email client. I recommended he should disassemble it and reverse
engineer it, because that is what I did.

Look the code I posted should work or at least work near enough to
puzzle the thing out. I only went as far as getting something that works
for me BUT the basic message format for embedded images is this:

Create OR they can reference inline embedded stuff: there is a special
format for that. src="cid:...."

Then you have to set up the mail headers to reflect the fact this is
multipart mime encoded HTML and that certain bits will be base 64 encoded,.

Then you have to create the message with separators, parts and where
appropriate base 64 encoding.

And, as I discovered,. all mail clients are not equal, and PHP frigs
with line endings. I had to rework my code to first of all work on Mac
mail, then Outlook, and finally going PHP4 to 5 broke it..all to do with
line endings.
