It does.

Your timing is good:  I just discovered my mistake about a minute before
you sent this. :-)

It turns out that the extracted HTML does contain an <img> tag -- it's
just that I'd missed it because I was searching for ".png" in the source,
and in fact the tag looks like this:

   <img src="cid:BARCODE" alt="" [...irrelevant bits elided...]>

Sure enough, the attachment containing the image has these headers:

   Content-Type: image/png
   Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
   Content-ID: <BARCODE>

Needless to say, until now I'd never seen "src=cid:" in an <img> tag, and
hadn't known that was possible.

So I do have everything I need, I just need to put it together.
