Does that mean that
1] you don't get the images *at* all? Or you get them as attachments?
2] if it were *sent* as an attachment, you would still get it. It doesn't
strip atachments, right?

So, that's true of embedded HTML, but an embedded image won't show up as
unprocessed markup, right? It'll always show as an attachment.



Beginning to sound to me like I definitely can't count on anything embedded,
but that an attachment is guaranteed.
