[horde] HTMLArea and SSL

Hi:

I am using Horde/IMP HEAD through SSL.  When using IE, the HTMLArea editor in
the compose window causes IE to display an error about "non secure items on a
secure page".

This problem is documented in the FAQ of HTMLArea:
http://www.interactivetools.com/products/htmlarea/documentation.html#bugs_ssl
And some workaround are presented here:
http://www.interactivetools.com/iforum/P3686/

They do mention that the workaround cause an issue with the Back button not
working as desired.  I have tried implementing one of the proposed workarounds,
and I have not come across any such issues.

Would it be suitable to have the Horde HEAD version of the HTMLArea patched with
such a workaround?  I have attached a patch below to implement this.

Thanks!
