Glad to be of help!  :-)

I don't think so, unless you're also running a web server on that box.

That is what I would expect.

Squid is sending a web page to you.  The IMG tag is part of the web
page.  IMG tags point to images that reside on web servers.  I don't
know of any way in HTML to transfer an image directly.  I think it has
to point to the image on a web server somewhere.

Does your ISP provide you web space on their server?
If so, upload the image there, and reference it in squid.

i.e.:  <img src="http://your.isp/~mike/no_bug.gif">

Ah, I get it now!  ;-)
