Pine does not.  (Or it is so cumbersome that you are very very unlikely to
try to display in inline that you shouldn't).

Another reason to not use remote inline images is that some people may
read their mail while disconnected.  I would like to remind everyone that
in many places in the world local phone calls are meterred so people often
set up systems that fetch all of their mail to a local inbox which can
then be read while disconnected.

I don't know what the application the original poster had in mind, but I
can't believe that sending out HTML mail with inline images (whether
remote or attached) is the right solution.
