There's two different types of embedded images, those that are truly embedded (i.e. form part of the mail message itself) and those that are referenced by URL and so have to be fetched from a web site. Evo downloads the whole message, so truly embedded images will be downloaded. Images referenced by URL are downloaded when the message is rendered by the HTML engine - which AFAIK is not directly part of Evo. In order for Evo to get all the images it would have to render and interpret all the HTML at download time (which could be a significant task when you look at the HTML generated by some mailers) - and then do something strange to the rendering engine such that it no longer tries to fetch the image from the net at the address referenced by the URL, but uses the downloaded version. > This could be important on my laptop when I have a narrow window to > download my emails but need to read them later, like when passing > through an airport. You could always try opening the message such that the images are downloaded and cached by the HTML engine - they should then be available off-line (but I haven't tried it).
