XSL to Outlook: Picture is red X

Question

Background:

I am sending HTML emails from Oracle using XSLT.

XML is transformed using XSL and sent to stored procedure from .NET 4. The XSL processor is System.Xml.Xsl.XslCompiledTransform.
My custom Oracle Stored Procedure SEND_MAIL_HTML calls UTL_SMTP
Outlook receives e-mail and the picture is Red X. <-- problem
Using View Source, copy all the content into a file and save.
Double-click on the file and the picture shows up fine.

The img tag in my HTML has a src="data:image/jpeg;base64, LotsOfAlphanumerics" element.

Please ask me how to clarify the problem and I will.

I tried hard to make the cid method work, per the URL's below, but I ended up spending too much time on it.

In the end, I ended up posting the image to a public URL.
