Yes, the email has to be in html format. What does MIME do and what is it?
What is mpack( I could look this up you know,, but lazy seems appropriate on
a rainy day!!)

Is there a command sequence I use to accompolish all this? What happens on
the other end? Will they see the pictures or do they have to do something to
'unpack' first?
