Good idea, except that it doesn't solve the problem ;-). It seems that this is NOT only a Linux problem after all. It's an Outlook problem. I guess Outlook is creating e-mail that can only be seen by another Outlook user.
I tried login directly to Gmail (in Linux and also on a Widows machine) and still can't see embedded picture. So I guess Google/Gmail have also not solved this problem. I Googled some more and found an article on microsoft.com (!!!!) explaining how to avoid sending these attachments - go figure :-) Too bad the people who developed the various tnef viewers I tried haven't solved this either.
