Hi Patrick:

I enjoyed the opportunity to chat with you about this.  I finally got around to
trying some rewriting of the HTML source text.  To avoid interpolating
potentially large amounts of data, I first tried saving the matching message
part as a temporary file, then replacing the "cid:" protocol with
"file:///tmp/".  But that ran afoul of WebKit's resolute refusal to use "file:"
links.

So then I tried your suggestion of a "data:" URI, and it works!  Well, in a
small number of tests.  But at least it requires *zero* patches to WebKit,
which means we don't have to wait indefinitely to see a fix.
