To all the people that replied: sorry, I didn't think before I posted. Or not well; my thought process was: "We can't do that; folks don't want HTML E-mail; wait, this is web-based: images are OK!". Should have gone one more step.
Guess you could use ALT tags, but the harvesters would presumably get those too.
