As others have said: It is probably usual to attach an image, and make
the body of the email in text/html, just displaying the said image.
What you can do (but you'll have to wait until tomorrow until I see the
result in Outlook ;->):
Write an email with the image attached. In the compose menu (before
finally sending the mail), you should see two "attachments": The "body"
(as text/plain, hopefully), and the attached image (as image/*,
probably base64 encoded).
Now, just delete the body "attachment" (default: 'D') -> bingo, you
have an email consisting only of the image!
It is declared as an "attachment" though, I don't know whether that
matters:
> Content-Type: image/jpeg
> Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="myfile.jpg"
And, as I said, I refuse to check the result in Outlook before
tomorrow. :)
Hope this helps,
Moritz
