Good timing! This feature is now checked into the mozilla trunk. It will 
be visible in the 0.9.5 milestone release as well as the next Netscape 
public release. Note that this feature uncovered another problem however 
(http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101426), which will be 
fixed in the mozilla tree in a couple of days, but that fix didn't make 
it into the Netscape release. There will be a release note for that 
issue: What happens is that an image with a relative link won't show up 
in the Composer document; the HTML is correct, and it will display just 
fine in the browser, but we forgot to update the new URL when we save 
the file, so the page doesn't have the correct base URL needed to find 
the image.
To fix the problem in 6.1, you simply edit the "file:///...." url in the 
  image dialog edit field, removing appropriate text to leave the 
correct relative URL (you must figure out the relative path yourself.) 
When you click OK in the dialog, that correct URL will be written as the 
SRC attribute.
