I'm working to create an HTML email which includes 2 images. Currently, I'm using tags to place the image in the email. Problem is when users get the email, it's asking the user to "click to download" for security reasons.

Is there a way to embed the image in the email, to avoid this issue?

I'm using Coldfusion to send the email.

Thanks
