Using CFMAIL tag to send emails with an image

Question

My code is as below,

<cfmail
    to="sender@xyz.com"
    from="receiver@xyz.com"
    subject="email with image">

    <img src="cid:pClip" width="350" height="85" alt="" />

    there is an image above this msg.

    <cfmailparam file="#ExpandPath('PaperClip.jpg')#"
        contentid="pClip"
        disposition="inline" />

  </cfmail>

I got this to work, however the problem now is image is showing up as an attachment, NOT inline (mail client : Outlook 2010). Any suggestions?

I already had the below solution (type="html") in my code, but your IMG embed code helped me solve the attachment issue in Outlook. Your question solved my problem. Thanks! — Heres2u, Feb 12 '20 at 14:59

you need to add a type attribute to your cfmail tag

<cfmail
    to="sender@xyz.com"
    from="receiver@xyz.com"
    subject="email with image"
    type="html">
