Default Dynamic email images..

I have a php script which basically spits out an image. I want to send
this image in an email but don't want the image to be an attachment,
embedded in the email or cached. I'm able to do this just fine with
email clients like outlook or thunderbird. However if I send that email
to a webmail account like hotmail, it downloads the image and swaps the
php code with a link to a cached copy of the image.

The email source for the image looks like this:

<img src="www.myserver.com/image.php">

but when I view the source for the hotmail email it changes the image
to this:

<img
src="http://by1306fd.bay1062.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/getmsg?&msg=543D6804-765F-4E60-A0D5-9CE765CEF361&start=0&len=45543&curmbox=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&a=8e065c648dcdbaba7a1a179f7a328bf0d06 5e1da1cbd1fb1c7ac3028e3a7&mimepart=5http://by106fd.bay106.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/getmsg?&msg=54D6804-65F-4E60-A0D5-9C765CEF361&start=0&len=4543&curmbox=00000000-0000-000-0000-00000000001&a=8e065c648dcda7a1a1739f7a328abf0d0651 e1bd1fb17c7ac3028e3a7&mimepart=4">

is there anyway to keep that image dynamic or is hotmail always going
to cache it and strip out my php link?

It should be:

<img src="http://www.myserver.com/image.php">

problem.
