12.1. Problem

Other than formatting, the main reason our users would want to use HTML messages would be to include images. An image is not necessarily a picture of something (a car, a computer, or whatever); it could be a banner, a logo, a promotional badge, or even a "Sign Up Now" button. We need to give the users the ability to upload an image and use it within their email. This involves several problems/steps. First, we want to provide a way for the user to upload an image. Second, we want to give them a way to browse their "image gallery" and select the image to insert into the image. Third, we want to host and serve these images so that when the end-user reads the message, he or she will be able to see the images.
