Sendmail including gif's ?

My department uses an outlook mail merge to send login information to multiple users who request access. I would like to use sendmail for obvious reasons. I copied a sample email source, with all the disgusting html formatting from outlook, and can successfully send emails almost exactly as I did in outlook. In order for the html to work I include the following (per previous help on the forum):
Code:
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
echo "Content-Type: text/html"
echo "Content-Disposition: inline"

The only thing left is I need to include a logo in the body of the email at the top. I have put the gif into the directory where the email script is, and the logo name is included in the html formatting. I have not changed the name of the gif. The gif as full permissions. I have tried specifying the absolute path of the gif but it still shows as a box containing the name of the file and another smaller box that contains a red X. I'm viewing the email in Outlook (as the user would do) so I'm wondering if Outlook is unable to reference the logo? Perhaps there's another thing I have to echo in in order to show logos? Thanks.

uucp(1c)																  uucp(1c)

Name
       uucp, uulog, uuname - unix to unix copy

Syntax
       uucp [option...] source-file...	destination-file

       uulog [option...]

       uuname [option...]

Description
       The  command  copies  files  named by the source-file arguments to the destination-file argument.  A file name either may be a path name on
       your machine or may have the form

	      system-name!pathname

       where `system-name' is taken from a list of system names which knows about.  Shell metacharacters ?*[] appearing in the pathname part  will
       be expanded on the appropriate system.

       Pathnames  may  be  a  full  pathname, a pathname preceded by ~user, where user is a userid on the specified system and is replaced by that
       user's login directory, or anything else prefixed by the current directory.

       If the result is an erroneous pathname for the remote system, the copy will fail.  If the destination-file is a directory, the last part of
       the  source-file  name is used.	If a simple ~user destination is inaccessible to data is copied to a spool directory and the user is noti-
       fied by

       The command preserves execute permissions across the transmission and gives 0666 read and write permissions.  For further information, see

Options
       The following options are interpreted by

       -d Creates all necessary directories for the file copy.

       -c Uses the source file when copying out rather than copying the file to the spool directory.

       -m Sends you mail when the copy is complete.

       -nrec
	  Sends mail to the recipient.

       -W Expands only local files.  Normally files names are prepended with the current working directory if a full path is not  specified.   The
	  -W tells to expand local files only.

       The command prints a summary of and transactions that were recorded in the file

       The options cause to print logging information:

       -ssys
	  Displays information about work involving specified system.

       -uuser
	  Displays information about work involving specified user.

       The command lists the uucp names of known systems.

       -l Lists local system name.

Warnings
       The  domain  of	remotely  accessible  files  can (and for obvious security reasons, usually should) be severely restricted.  You will very
       likely not be able to fetch files by pathname.  Ask a responsible person on the remote system to send them to you.  For the  same  reasons,
       you will probably not be able to send files to arbitrary pathnames.

Restrictions
       All files received by will be owned by uucp.
       The  -m	option	will  only work sending files or receiving a single file.  (Receiving multiple files specified by special shell characters
       ?*[] will not activate the -m option.)

Files
       /usr/spool/uucp - spool directory
       /usr/lib/uucp/* - other data and program files
       /etc/acucap - shared autodial modem database
