You want to set the content type to text/html. Don't know how to do this in mutt (or any other text email 
reader, for that matter).

I write HTML mails with PHP using phpmailer (http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/). Code looks something like 
this:

$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsMail(); 
$mail->FromName = "Meg";
$mail->From = "meg at test.com";
$mail->AddAddress("$value");
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Body = 
	'<html><head></head>
	<body>
	Test message
	<img src="http://location/of/image">
	</body>';
$mail->Send()

Probably not quite the answer you were looking for, but maybe it'll help.
