I might get this all wrong (I'm new to The Bat! and this is my first
attempt to tell someone else what's going on, but I believe this is by
design. Most HTML mail doesn't actualy embed the image in the mail,
but instead embeds an instruction to go to the web and fetch the image
when the mail is opened (or previewed).
The Bat! deliberately doesn't honour embedded instructions (you could
call them programs without being too wrong) like this,
because this is the vehicle used by email viruses and worms to ask
your system to do things that (a) tou don't know about and (b) you
might not want done if you did.
If I've got this wrong, someone please tell me (but I hope I haven't)
