i believe you forgot to end the image tag, this is done as follows:

<img src="path/blah.jpg" height="100" width="100"/>

that slash before you end the tag is needed to close the image tag

You're using an absolute Windows file name for the image. This can't work - the receiving computer has no way to know where on the world that image is stored.

Instead, you need to attach the image to the mail. Give it a name, say we.jpg. Now you can use this HTML code to use it in the mail body:

 <img src="cid:we.jpg" />

Here us an example how the raw mail would look like: Can an HTML email body reference a file sent as an attachment (in the same email)?
