If you are creating an HTML mail template for an automated Email campaign you have to put all of the HTML tags in yourself. If the image is to be hosted on a web server then something like

<img src="http://www.foo.bar/whatever/image.gif">

should work, assuming that the recipient's mail client does not automatically block linked images.

It is also possible to have the image imbedded in the mail message itself, but that is more involved. One approach would be to send a sample of the message to yourself and then use a mail client like Mozilla Thunderbird to view the message source. That would show you the MIME magic required to make it happen.

Using the procedure I outlined above, this is how Mozilla Thunderbird handles an embedded graphic:
