EXPERT RESPONSE
Probably the best place to start looking for information about SMTP is with the RFC 821. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0821.txt. The standard for image type transfers is MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) a protocol for allowing e-mail messages to contain various types of media (text, audio, video, images, etc.) Among others it's detailed in RFC 2112.
