Joe - you want to sent HTML email - embed (not attach) the image like
any website and then add the link - make sure to add some javascript
just for fun too (just kidding)
make sure your email works in a text only world too - many, including
myself consider HTML email an abomination/security problem and
routinely have email servers strip that crap off at the front door -
others dump the whole email into the spam box.
it would be a shame to spend all this time designing the email, just
to make it undeliverable - you might consider attaching your card as a
vCard, that would be more useful.

would actually be useful
