You can't if using Plain Text. Outlook Express displays or renders graphic
images attached to mail following the end of the text portion of the
message. If you want to use HTML, you can embed the graphics and they will
only appear in the absolute positions you indicate in your HTML coding.

In any case, you cannot control what an individual user will see in his/her
mail reader. Different mail clients will display images in a different
fashion and even if the recipient is using Outlook Express, they may have
their options set to read all messages in Plain Text, which defeats all the
work of creating it in HTML.

Out of curiousity, why is the question important?
