Using build 2001-06-28 on win, I created an html page with 23 inserted .jpg
images and saved it.  I then attached the html page to a mail msg and sent. 
Receiver of the mail didn't see the images when they opened the attachment.  
Saving the attachment and viewing in browser also shows no images.

1. Launch App
2. Launch Editor
3. Insert images into editor page, giving alternate text. (I inserted 23 images,
taken from a location on my hard drive, left justified them on the page with a
number below each image (note, the number was the same as the alternate text. 
In my case 13 was under the first picture, alternate text was 13.) 
4. Save the html
5. Launch Mail and send a message to yourself attaching this html.
6. View your mail on another system and open this message.
I only see the numbers down the left side no images.
cc: shrir.
is this a dup of 36419 ? mail/ editor problem ? Since if I build a webpage in 
composer with images and save it locally..reopen in composer...they load fine. 
However only after Esther mails them, theimages disappear...can anyone shed some 
lite on this one? 
This is a mail MIME issue. When attaching HTML documents to a message, mail needs 
to be smart about the contents of the attachment, maybe asking the user if they 
want to send all the images.

FWIW, 4.x has the same behaviour, I think.
