Sending HTML text - this is supported by UTL_MAIL. You simply need to format the Mime body correctly. Sample code in {message:id=3914506}.
Sending embedded images are a tad more complex. And not something I would try with UTL_MAIL - UTL_SMTP allows you to define the Mime body yourself, without UTL_MAIL doing that (poorly) for you. The type of Mime body to generate is explained in {message:id=9676442}. Example of using UTL_SMTP to send an multi-part Mime body in {message:id=4593735}.
Another example of a Mime body including a uuencoded image is in posting {message:id=4402801}. See message {message:id=10364104} for how to encode an image into ASCII as an attachment for a Mime body.
