In this particular case, multipart/related would be more appropriate.
See http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHTML
If you talked about serving the images in a multipart/* envelope,
multipart/alternate is more appropriate than multipart/mixed.
But, hey, RFC2046 states (§5.1.3) that « Any "multipart" subtypes that
an implementation does not recognize must be treated as being of
subtype "mixed" », so in terms of client implementations, supporting
multipart/mixed might be enough.
