actually all a standard that trusts the end-users can accomplish is whether
*the sender wants you to react as if* the picture was sent straight from a
camera; he can't verify the origin of the picture.
for that purpose, I think "here's my hairdo of the day" in the text
preceding the picture is more effective (and more informative) than a
content-disposition header.
(and I think overloading the content-disposition header is the Wrong Thing,
anyway - how the sender composed the message is not a content disposition.)
