In order not to make a letter with attached files, I would like to push all the pictures in css as data URI of images. Do email clients understand such a thing?

They understand. But they will warn that the letter contains elements referring to the Internet, and they will offer not to show them. Or just block the display of such pictures.
Because attackers use this feature for many insidious purposes. For example, to find out your real IP address. Or to run PHP on remote servers. Or for DDOS attacks. Or attacks on your computer. For example, it was possible to drop Windows 98 by sending an email with .
