I ran into Peter Bloomfield at a conference, and had another idea about how to
solve a particular problem related to this bug.  Peter described the problem of
dealing with html email with embedded images.  My suggestion was to make use of
the data: url to avoid having to do anything more complicated.  Reference here:

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_URI_scheme

So the basic idea would be to extract the embedded images out of the email
payload, and replace the <img src="xxx"> with <img src="data:yyy"> in the
actual html email section.  This could be done in either the primary code
dealing with the message (C?), or could probably be done in JavaScript with
something like an onload handler.

May be off-base, but it sounded like it might be an easy way to work around
this particular problem, but not a general purpose solution (I don't think).
