Text format + attached image files or Html format + displayed images ?

Question

Hi, I have this kind of probleme and I need some help.
(Code : see below)
I want to send a mail with some attached image files.
For the message part, I create a MimeBodyPart and add two kinds of message (text or html) and this part is multipart/alternative.
For the attachment part, I create another MimeBodyPart and I set the Header like this : xxx.setHeader("Content-ID", "<image>").
When I use outlook (html format) , I receive a mail with the picture displayed at the bottom, it's perfect.
However the problem is for the mailbox which is in text mode, I receive a mail with message + attachment files, but I also have some image frames generated by xxx.setHeader("Content-ID", "<image>") I guess.
Who can give me a hand to implement something that able to make difference according to text format or html format.
I post my code here, thanks a lot :
//set Message
     msg.setText(pMsgText, DEFAULT_CHARSET);
     // Partie Texte brut
     MimeBodyPart textPart = new MimeBodyPart();
     String header = "";
     textPart.setText(header + pMsgText, DEFAULT_CHARSET);
     textPart.setHeader(
               "Content-Type",
     "text/plain;charset=\"iso-8859-1\"");
     textPart.setHeader("Content-Transfert-Encoding", "8bit");
     // Partie HTML
     MimeBodyPart htmlPart = new MimeBodyPart();
     String images = BTSBackUtil.generateImgSrc(pictureContainers.length);
     String endPart = "</div>\n</body>\n</html>";
     htmlPart.setText(pMsgTextHTML+images+endPart);
     htmlPart.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html");
     // create the mail root multipart
     // Multipartie
     Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart("mixed");
     // create the content miltipart (for text and HTML)
     MimeMultipart mpContent = new MimeMultipart("alternative");
     // create a body part to house the multipart/alternative Part
     MimeBodyPart contentPartRoot = new MimeBodyPart();
     contentPartRoot.setContent(mpContent);
     // add the root body part to the root multipart
     multipart.addBodyPart(contentPartRoot);
     // add text
     mpContent.addBodyPart(textPart);
     // add html
     mpContent.addBodyPart(htmlPart);
     // this part treates attachment
     if (pictureContainers != null){
          PictureContainer pictureContainer = new PictureContainer();
          String fileName = "";
          for(int i = 0; i < pictureContainers.length; i++) {
               pictureContainer = pictureContainers;
               byte[] bs = pictureContainer.getImgData();
               fileName = "image" + i +".jpg";
               DataSource dataSource = new ByteArrayDataSource(fileName, "image/jpeg", bs);
               DataHandler dataHandler = new DataHandler(dataSource);
               MimeBodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
               mbp.setDataHandler(dataHandler);
               mbp.setHeader("Content-ID", "<image"+i+">");
               mbp.setFileName(fileName);
               multipart.addBodyPart(mbp);
// end attachment
msg.setContent(multipart);
