Can an HTML email use an image attachment as the source for tag?

Let’s say I am sending an email with per-email specific images – and they are sent as an attachment to the email – can the HTML body within the email use the those images? My guess would be no, but are there any hacks or workarounds that would make it work?

Thanks,

    No hacks needed. Use the cid: URI scheme

     --boundary-example 1
 Content-Type: Text/HTML; charset=US-ASCII

 to the other body part, for example through a statement such as:
 <IMG SRC="cid:foo4*foo1@bar.net" ALT="IETF logo">

 --boundary-example-1

 Content-ID: <foo4*foo1@bar.net>
 Content-Type: IMAGE/GIF
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64
