Most people send HTML email, which can contain inline images as HTML code
(technically: an  tag with src pointing to the attachment grouped into the
same multipart/related). David sends plain text email, in which the only way to
have inline images is to split the email text in two with the image in the
middle (technically: break the message body into several MIME parts linked by
multipart/mixed). AFAIK, this is relatively unusual; I'm not surprised that some
mail clients don't display it in the nicest way possible.

I do see the attachment, it's just not displayed in the text of the
message.  I'm using GMail and I'm not in Plain Text mode.  I see images
inline with other emails, just not David Kastrup's.

It's not a big deal.  I just need to remember it when I'm replying.

The problem must be on your side, unless you're subscribed to the
text-only version of the digest that comes with no attachments.
If your MUA doesn't display the image inline, you should be able
to display or save it just like any normal attachment.

Those reading the text-only digest should see:

Unfortunately, that URL might not work:
