   No, as the image is not actually sent with the mail, so there is
nothing you can look for in the mail to display. The way Mail.app does
it is to recognize that the sender has a .mac account. If the mail came
from a .mac account, Mail.app then looks on the .Mac servers for a
picture for that account.
