Per PHPMailer Manual, you sould use the method AddEmbeddedImage

$mail->AddEmbeddedImage(filename, cid, name);
By using this function with this example's value above, results in this code:
$mail->AddEmbeddedImage('my-photo.jpg', 'my-photo', 'my-photo.jpg '); 

like this:

$mail->AddEmbeddedImage("rocks.png", "my-attach", "rocks.png");
$mail->Body = 'Embedded Image: <img alt="PHPMailer" src="cid:my-attach"> Here is an image!';

so cid:my-attach will be replaced with the inline-source of the image that's inside the email body
