This no longer works on some of the newer Kindles like the K5 (Kindle Touch). I'm not sure if it will work on the K4 (non-touch), but I would avoid this method as it no longer universally works. And even when it does work there will be no images.
@MrB, As far as I know there is no way to include images within an HTML file for conversion to mobi via Kindle Previewer. You will need to use an ePub or create an OPF file which is very complicated. Using an ePub created with Sigil is by far the easiest of these two methods. However an easier solution is shown below.
Easiest Solution: You could use calibre for your conversions. See the calibre instructions. If I remember correctly you can place the HTML and image files into a folder, zip them into a single file, then calibre can convert it to a mobi (or many other formats). As I recall, calibre can convert RTF files but the conversion will exclude any images. It has been a long time since I used calibre so please check in the calibre documentation and/or forums for information. Calibre can convert from many different formats, so research which is best for your situation.
