Surely it is possible. In Unix system you must first compress the picture
file and then encode it.
The procedure is like this:
compress picture.gif (or whatever the format is .jpg .bmp etc.)
the result is a file picture.gif.Z
then:
uuencode picture.gif.Z < picture.gif.Z > whatever
After that you can attach this file whatever to your mail and send it.
When receiving mails which include binary data, the procedure is :
uudecode whatever
uncompress picture.gif.Z
