This is a wild shot, but maybe you need to use the "cid" tag like html mail does, which attaches images to the html. Like Merlyn, I recall a while back, I did get inline-images to work in plain html(but it was probably Netscape 4) and it dosn't work now with Mozilla.

In html mail, you need to do something like this: 

# Attach the HTML content 
my $message_body = '<html><body><H3>Hello world! 
   <img src="cid:myid.gif"></H3></body></html>';

$mime_msg->attach(Type => 'text/html',
                  Data => $message_body);

# Attach the image 
$mime_msg->attach(
   Type => 'image/gif',
   Id => 'myid.gif',
   Encoding => 'base64',
   Path => 'pikachu.jpg');
