Yes, I mean messages from my system that is not open to the public.   
The way I see it, once a message is sent, it should be viewable  
without the need for my server to be up or online or available to the  
viewer.  Also, the message should be viewed as it was sent today, next  
month or 10 years from now.  Having external links just makes that  
nearly impossible.  This is why you provide the option to imbed images  
as attachments!

You are correct.  You can't have features without paying for the price  
somehow.

Thank you for that.

Totally agree.  Thanks again.
