In jade file:

... img(src="cid:myPicture")

When i send my email .... This not work. I have added attachment in the e-mail, but message do not have embedded images.

Whoa! Super old question. You've either figured it out or quit programming by now. When I ran into the same problem, Google led me here.

It all comes down to the path. I had to set the absolute path including the file name . So, in your case, it would all look like this:

var mailOptions = {
  // ...
  html: 'my html jade',
  attachments: [{
  filename: 'image.png',
  path: '/picture/file/image.png',
  cid: 'myPicture' //same cid value as in the html img src
}]

I can't speak for the jade stuff, but hopefully this will help some other Nodemailer.
