You need to create an MIME encoded meessage. In effect the message is split up into different parts, each different part can be of a different mime type. For example the first part can be plain text, the second HTML and the thrid and image. This tutorial explains in detail how to encode binary data attachments for includsion in emails:

Another method of encoding attachments is base 64 encoding. This converts each character into a base64 digit (base64 being a number system like base 16(hex) or base10 (decimal)). You can find a tool to do this here: here
