I have no idea what you mean by "separately, as attachments" since attachments
are part of the message, not in any way separate. Looking at any HTML message
with Cntl-U will show you that. That's one of the advantages of HTML mail, it's
a package rather than needing a transfer for each image. In an attempt to "speed
up" browsers, some load images in parallel, which can result in lots of connects
to the web server, and may perceived as a DoS attack.
