adding images to an html but not attachment

[erwandrd]

Dear new friends from the Pear Forum world family,

I ain't no expert in using Pear Mail but I'm slowly getting the grips of it but there's one or two little things that are doing my wee little head in.

I want to send html email using Mail_mime and add images to it (who wouldn't?!) and it works!!
My concern is that I don't want these images to appear as attachments as they do at the moment.. although I learned from a tutorial that it shouldn't happen.

Is it possible or am I the victim of a big white lie?

here's my piece of kit:

include('Mail.php');
include('Mail\mime.php');

$message = new Mail_mime();
$text = file_get_contents("mail_folder/mail_text.txt");
$html = file_get_contents("mail_folder/mail_html.html");
$imagem = file_get_contents("mail_folder/R2D2.gif");
$logo = file_get_contents("mail_folder/logo_mail.gif");


$message->setTXTBody($text);
$message->setHTMLBody($html);
$message->addHTMLImage($imagem,"image/jpeg","R2D2.gif",false);
$message->addHTMLImage($logo,"image/gif","logo_mail.gif",false);

$body = $message->get();
$extraheaders = array("From"=>"R1 <rone@yahoo.com>", "Subject"=>$_POST[subject]);
$headers = $message->headers($extraheaders);

$mail = Mail::factory("mail");
$mail->send($line[email_addr], $headers, $body);

My second question is: Is this the best way of sending a News letter, knowing that the codes above are used in a while loop for each subscribers.

Thank you for any help.
