There's a problem with embedded images and Gmail web client.

This is how images are attached right now:
image["Content-ID"] = "image_%s" % image_number

This way, Gmail can't correctly recognize the images, it's necessary to add "<" and ">" in the string.

image.add_header('Content-Id','<image_%s>' % image_number)

This fix solves the problem and Gmail (also other clients) is able to display inline images.

Steps to reproduce:: Attach an image to the email.
Send to Gmail address.
Open email with Gmail web client.
