If you are using Perl, I find MIME::Lite to be an excellent tool.  I 
selected it after reading it was simpler to use and more powerful than 
the sendmail module (I think it was its successor).  Although I do not 
have experience with Mail::Sendmail, I can say that MIME::Lite works 
very well for multi-part emails with embedded images.  I could even 
send you an example or two ;)
