You either need to host the image on a web server and point the link to
the image's URL, or else you need to read up on images referenced by a
cid URL type. If you search around for information about it, you may be
able to embed the image as a multipart in the signature, depending on
whether a signature can hold enough data (I don't know if there are any
set limits). The multipart boundary may cause problems though too, so a
data URL type is usable if the image data is really short.
