you can try Newt's Cape for free for ~45 days. HTML should work fine.
handling individual attachments such as .gif and .pkg _might_ work (I
did have GoFetch installed for testing at one time) but no
guarantees...

assuming graphic attachments converted, you could probably view them
individually, but not integrated within an HTML page using the email
transfer. the basic problem is that the file attachments usually don't
have a complete URL identifying them (maybe just a partial filename),
so they're not stored in Newt's Cape's cache, so web page wouldn't find
images.
