How to Embed Image in Outlook Signature?

Is it possible to create an HTML email signature for Outlook 2003 or above that doesn't reference external images?

That is, using those special "cid" reference but embed the image itself in the signature and not on the file system or network.

This is for an web application that generates a "standard" email signature based on various input from a user. It has worked fine so far with a single "embedded" image. But a new feature is going to require the possible addition of multiple tiny images.

Getting to user to save one email signature template and one image to the user's machine is about the limit of what I'd like to require of the user. But forcing the user to save multiple images seem to be pushing things a little to far in my opinion.

So my problem is trying to embed the images into without having to inconvenience the user with multiple downloads first.
