Is this from a recent test version of MailMate? The public version has 
image blocking enabled for the Drafts view, but I improved this. (Image 
blocking is still enabled if forwarding/attaching a message in case it 
is a message with links to external images.)

If it's a recent test version then I'm not sure why the image is not 
shown in the preview...

MailMate cannot control how the receiving email client displays 
externally referenced images. Just like MailMate, many email 
applications have image blocking enabled to prevent that the email tells 
the sender that the messages has been received/read.

Here is my test of what you are trying to do:

That is personal preference. Think about it this way: Assume the reader 
is reading the plain text part of the message. Then choose what you 
think will be most readable/convenient for the recipient. In some cases 
it can be useful to keep the links close to where they are used in case 
the recipient replies to only parts of the message.
