No No No,  If you're running OutLook, for example, and you see 
you have attachments.  One might be called image.jpg.  But the 
way it's displayed, it's actually image.jpg.exe (explorer will do this 
too).  When you click it, it gets executed, because it's acutally an 
.exe.     

That doesn't apply to IMP.  But It was the only 'issue' I could think 
of relating to images and email..   :)

Of course, the only way to test any <img> thing is to try it :)

/me Rick beats a dead horse.. 

Man, email can be a detrament to innovation :)
