pythonlearner's question is problematic however. Questions about Gmail often get migrated automatically to Web Applications Q&A, however software recommendations questions are off topic at Web Applications Q&A, so the correct migration website for this question is Software Recommendations Q&A.

2@pythonlearner Your formula will be converted to a <img> tag, whose src points to a google service, so the image will not be a part of the email, but instead it is rendered and fetched when the mail will be read. – does_it_matter – 2015-10-31T14:03:19.290

You should add that detail into the answer, Rahul. – Lightness Races with Monica – 2015-10-31T19:44:14.077

The Greasemonkey userscript no longer works for Gmail. This answer is now completely useless.
