I think there's a difference between a mail which has an html copy of plain text, where images etc that might be required for the html page can be fetched from servers - in that case a browser will be able to display the page well ... and emails which contain html and a set of associated image attachments. In the latter case, just dumping the html into a temporary file and pointing a browser at it won't also give the browser access to the associated images, unless (I suppose) a folder full of images are passed to the browser as well as the html page, AND the image references inside the html somehow are modified from whatever would have worked inside an email client, so that they browser can pick up the images in the folder. By "logging-in", I guess the OP is referring to using a webmail system where the webmail server presents an integrated view of the html page and the unpacked embedded attached images. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own.
