Email reports with graphs as HTML (via schedule)

Question

== W2K machine with Oracle Reports Server 6i R2 ==
How can I schedule/design a report if sent via email (in HTML format), so the graph that is part of the reports shows up? Currently, the gif is missing. I can use the "hyperlink" in the web setting to point to the file on the web server, but this means my "customers" need to click the missing object.
If I send the report as PDF, all is well but again, my customers need to "open" the file.
Is there a way to email reports with graphs as HTML?
In any other format where the receiver does not have to take any other action?
Thx
Josh

My bursting SQL query:
SELECT DISTINCT
ip.APPL_ID KEY,
'11F_Search_Prospect_Email' TEMPLATE,
'RTF' template_format,
'en-US' locale,
'HTML' output_format,
'EMAIL' DEL_CHANNEL,
ip.email PARAMETER1,
'[email protected]' PARAMETER3,
'Welcome' PARAMETER4,
'true' PARAMETER6
FROM ugrad.inquiry_prospect ip,
ugrad.correspondence f,
ugrad.address e,
ugrad.f_lookup fl
WHERE ip.appl_id = f.appl_id
AND ip.APPL_ID = e.APPL_ID
AND fl.TYPE_CODE='C'
AND ip.record_stage = 'Prospect'
AND e.COUNTRY_CODE=fl.code
AND e.table_name = 'INQUIRY_PROSPECT'
AND e.address_type =
NVL ((SELECT gg.address_type
FROM ugradadm.address gg
WHERE gg.address_type =
DECODE (f.mailpref,
'Home', 'HOME',
'Best', 'LOCAL',
'HOME'
AND gg.table_name = 'INQUIRY_PROSPECT'
AND gg.APPL_ID = ip.appl_id
AND((gg.address_type='LOCAL' AND NVL(gg.address_expir_date,sysdate)>sysdate)
OR gg.address_type='HOME')),
'HOME'
AND f.batchid = :Batch_ID
This report when bursted sends an email with the layout template as html body.
The EMAIL configuration is set with a server Port number and its host address.
