Answer 1

You have to do three things

1. Declare mail as multipart
2. Attach your image as inline image
3. Reference you inline image from your mail template

According to this mailing list thread it should work like this:

sendMail{
    multipart true
    to "[hidden email]"
    subject "Subject goes here"
    html  g.render( template: '/emails/mailTemplate')
    inline 'springsourceInlineImage', 'image/jpg', new File('./web-app/images/springsource.png')
}

In your template you could refer the image like this

Hope that helps.
