In my app, I am composing an HMTL email message with the 3.0+ MFMailComposeViewController

In my app, I am composing an HMTL email message with the 3.0+ MFMailComposeViewController.
To do this, I created an HTML file, with some placeholders.
In my code, I read the HTML file, and with replaceOccurrencesOfString, I replace the placeholders with data from the app.
In that way, I compose the body of the email I want to send out.
This is all working very nicely, except for the fact, that in my HTML file, I have an <img src='imageplaceholderpath' /> tag.
Somehow, I cannot figure out, with what I should replace this imageplaceholderpath, in order to refer to an image that resides in my app.
Is this a valid approach at all, and if so, what would be the syntax/logic behind the path I should put there?
I do appreciate your insights!
Regards
Sjakelien

    Unfortunately this is not supported by the iPhone 3.x APIs.

    http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/MessageUI/Reference/MFMailComposeViewController_class/Reference/Reference.html

    It would require Content-ID: to be part of the attachment subpart but it is not. 

     - (void)addAttachmentData:(NSData*)attachment mimeType:(NSString*)mimeType fileName:(NSString*)filename
