You need to properly structure the JavaMail MimeMessage to look something
like this
multipart/mixed - This is the outter container
multipart/alternative
text/plain - This is the plain text version of the message
multipart/related
text/html - This is the pretty version of the message
image/jpeg - This is the background image
application/octet-stream - This is any attachments that need to be sent

If you would like, send me a message and I'll reply to you with one
structured like this.

Subject: Sending JavaMail with EMBEDDED Images
> I have several users that will be communicating (sending e-mail via
> servlets) via my site. How does one make these fancy email messages that
> Outlook uses where they have their own custom background as embedded
.jpg's
> etc? Putting in references such as http://www.mysite.com/mypicture.jpg
> works fine if the user is attached to the Internet, but most people read
> their mail off-line. The result is that you see the frame, but no
picture.
>
> Using Multipart as per examples renders the following results: In MS
> Outlook it shows the html and then the text as an attachment. In
text-only
> email readers such as pine (Linux / UNIX), you have to actually save the
> message to a file to read it either the Text or HTML part of it.
>
> If one could embed .jpg's in your message, it would be great for sending
> e-mails with images and be sure that they will be displayed irrespective
of
> whether the receiver is on-line or not. Many sites rely on advertising
for
> funding their enterprises. If e-mails (NOT SPAM) could be sent using
> embedded images this would expand this avenue of funding.
>
> Has anyone achieved this? If so, a code snippet would be most
appreciated.
