You can, if you want. Alternatively, you can wrap the XML into a MIME
multipart envelope, include the image as an attachment, and reference it via
a "cid:" href. One other option is to encode the image in a textual format
and embed it directly as element content. Base64 is typically used for this
approach.
If adopting the last approach, it may be a good idea to also include
relevant metadata. For example:
<image type="image/gif" encoding="base64">
...base64-encoded data....
</image>
