Right, unless we were to constraint it somehow by forcing the height
and width, but that would require the libgd functions to do correctly.

That sounds like a pretty good idea.

Done, along with a few other MIME system cleanups... There's tons more to do in 
this area; I'm fairly unhappy with the way view functions live in mimetypes.lib 
right now. If at all possible, I'd like the view functions to become fairly 
generic and move into Horde, so that Gollem and Chora can use them too...
