PHPMailer's AddEmbeddedImage gives me blank email
I'm having trouble getting an inline image using PHPMailer. Without the following line (i.e. if I comment it out)
$success = $mail->AddEmbeddedImage($ImagePath, $ImageCID, $ImageName, $ImageEncoding, $ImageType, $ImageDisposition);
good results. If I add it back I get a blank email (tried Outlook and Gmail). I added "$success=" to make sure it was working and it did.

I couldn't find any comprehensive documentation either - not even on GitHub: 3731. The closest I got was this. But I still don't understand what exactly the third parameter is doing. Do I want to override the name? Why? What encoding should I use (I tried Base64 and left both blank)? What options exist besides "inline" disposal? etc...
