Embed JPG image in Outlook

Hello,
I have the below code but am looking for a way to embed the JPG image into the email body rather than attach. Is there a way to embed from a network location? \\serverlocation\folder\filename.jpg?

Let>SENDMAIL_STATUS=0
Let>subject=Automated Report
Let>me=
Let>myname=
Let>recipients=
Let>body=The Automated Report has finished running.
Let>attachments=\\serverlocation\folder\filename.jpg?
Let>server=
SMTPSendMail>recipients,server,me,myname,subject,body,attachments

As far as I am aware its not possible via SendMail, I think you would need to automate an email client like Outlook, however I will leave it to Marcus to advise as he seams to come up with some fancy options.

Thank you CyberCitizen for taking a look at this. Marcus was kind enough to respond via IM. I'm posting below in case anyone else is interested.

"Marcus: Ok, to do that you'd have to use HTML.
SMTPSendMail doesn't currently support HTML email bodies. It will do in 14.1 Until then you have to use VBScript and Microsoft's CDO to construct and send an HTML email. There's an example in the forum."
