Why not send plaintext e-mail with the images as attachments?
I love SendMail, while we're on the subject. I've been using it to mail
back my students' Mathematica assignments. The notebooks that they
submit include the student's UVM NetID in the filename, which is used as
their e-mail username, so it's quite simple to do this. I just wrote a
little function that does a StringSplit to grab the NetID, constructs
the e-mail address, and then uses SendMail to send the file in question
to that address (as an attachment) along with some canned text ("Here is
your graded lab" etc.). Just Map the function across the list of
FileNames for the directory where the students' work is located, and
there you go. It's rather *slow* to send back say 70 of them at a time,
but it's easy as can be. I just start it up and do something else while
it cranks away at them.
