 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
