You can include the image data in the mail using HTML's embedded img url eg.

Code:
<img width=640 height=147 src="data:image/jpeg;base64,$(base64 /home/u35731/dev/1.jpg)">

Hi Skrynesaver
I tried the below after you suggested but still i dont see the image in mail Smilie

Code:
<img width=640 height=147 src="data:image/jpeg;base64,$(base64 /home/u35731/dev/1.jpg)">

In email, I'm getting just a cross image saying "the linked image cannot be displayed"

Thanks and advanced happy new year

It's probably the "+" characters in the base64 encode they may need to be URI encoded try:

Code:
<img width=640 height=147 src="data:image/jpeg;base64,$(base64 /home/u35731/dev/1.jpg | sed 's/+/%2b/g')">

Do you have base64 installed and in your path?

Try running the encode from the command line and see if you get output eg:

Code:
$ base64 /home/u35731/dev/1.jpg
