Hi perl monks, I'm trying to write a program to handle sending email. I am using Mime::Lite. I am wanting to use embedded images in the HTML document. I can attach the files no problem, but can not display them in the body of the email. Heres the code. 
$msg = MIME::Lite->new (
                    To            =>'someone@somewhere.co.nz',
                    From        => 'mail@someone.co.nz',
                    Subject    =>'mailbird',
                    Type        =>'multipart/mixed',
 
                    );
$msg->attach(Type => 'text/html',
                    Data => qq~
       <html>
       <body bgcolor="red">
       <img src="http://www.google.co.nz/images/hp0.gif" alt="Google L
+OGO">
       <p><font size=4>Taieri Print Ltd</font></p>
       <img src="tplogo.jpg" alt="TP LOGO">
       <p><font size=2 color="blue">Mailbird Newsletter</font></p>
       </body>
       </html>
       ~);

 $msg->attach(Type     =>'image/jpg',
                 Path     =>'tplogo.jpg',
                 Filename =>'logo.jpg',
         disposition=>'inline',
                 );

$msg->send('smtp', 'smtp.xtra.co.nz') or die 'Message not sent to $rec
+ipient';

When i reference a image located on a web server it works, but with later version of email clients such as Mozilla and Outlook, it requires the user to click on a button to display the image. This step is not wanted. Any ideas or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks
