It's absolutely necessary for his application to make sure that
the page will display as a nice page with lots of pictures on it.

However I could set things up so that when he sends out an email
that contains inlined images, then the images will not be
included in the outgoing email, but instead they'll be stored on
my one of my servers and the IMG tags updated accordingly, i.e.
src="images/logos/logo_001.gif" might get changed to something
like src="http://cisto.com/client832/img423.gif";

How will the popular HTML-rendering email clients react to this
kind of IMG tags?

What will happen when the message is displayed while offline?

Good points here :)
