Just a "For What It's Worth"... Unfortunately, in our environment, "inline" images do get extensive use from our users (College Students, Faculty). Much of their email is for entertainment value, and many email "jokes" make use of Inline images of a variety of file types. GIF and JPG are just two types, you will also see PNG, BMP, etc. So, while I don't condone the usage, it does get used by a large percentage of "other" typical users.... Most of whom would not be too happy to have their email flagged as spam soley because it contained an inline image. Your network usage may vary.... Personally, I wish HTML/UU/MIME type message formats had never been implemented! ;-)
