You can use a URL like
  data:image/png;base64,<......>
so that the image data is provided "inline" in the HTML.

This is what kmail does, with code like this:

  QString FancyHeaderStyle::imgToDataUrl( const QImage &image, const char* fmt  )
  {
    QBuffer buffer;
    buffer.open( IO_WriteOnly );
    image.save( &buffer, fmt );
    return QString::fromLatin1("data:image/%1;base64,%2")
           .arg( fmt, KCodecs::base64Encode( buffer.buffer() ) );
  }
