I have good success so far using [sparingly] attached images, and
accessing it in the content HTML using content-id (cid:). E.g. in the
multipart MIME mail, the message HTML will have something like:
<img src="cid:5463586ydfkjh405364" id="examplepic" height="200"
width="200" />
And the attached image will have content-id 5463586ydfkjh405364. Haven't
tested SquirrelMail, but other webmails I have tested display the images
this way just fine.
If you're using php, I can swear by phpMailer[0] to make this
dead-simple. There are other options as well, or you can roll your own
following the tutorial on Zend[1] (tutorial a bit old though!).

HTH!
