   The images you speak of are encoded and sent in Sixel format. Theoretically,   
   yes, a Sixel image could be placed in-line in a message. Unfortunately, it'd   
   the image data would be sent to every user's terminal that viewed that message   
   (whether they supported Sixel or not) and appear as garbage to non-Sixel   
   terminals. But it's an idea...!
