The approach works well with 200x200 ish images but does get around email software restrictions.
== Method 6 : VML from Outlook ==
Going the way of the dodo, VML or Vector Markup Language [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_Markup_Language Link] is a set of instructions on how the image should be drawn rather than the picture itself. Older versions of Microsoft Office used it heavily when drawing images.
