Thanks for the advices!! I would forget about embedding images on the email (that was my first option). Since the midtier server is not at DMZ and not open to the internet, I will publish images on an open server.
About mobile terminals, maybe it will be a concern at a near future, but now, almost 100% of users will receive mail on PC or highly evolved smart-phones. And my first objective is to impress executive stakeholders that will receive those mails. Sometimes to justify the cost of the customer investment, you need to dress the final product. So images in the email are a must.
