I'm trying to include a PDF image both inline and as an attachment to an

That would be because PDFs* are not images**.  The are (possibly
multipage) documents.  Images are raster files like GIF***, PNG****,
and JPEG*****.  Some clients may support other types like tiff, but
you should not count on it.

OK, makes sense.

Next question: How to display PDFs inline?
