And there the difference is: Netscape, as a _Browser_ already has caching
capabilities. So it can use them in the (poor) mail module too. The Bat!
has none.
Additionally: even with a caching algorithm The Bat! would finally have to
go online to fetch the images once. Quite the same as if you double click
the 'attachment' (message.html) of this particular newsletter and open it
in your browser. If this browser caches it can display the images second or
third time opening the HTML-file too ... So ... No problem at all. If you
insist in the images you're free of open the HTML-page in your browser
(which is BTW designed to display HTML pages) and if you're interested in
the pure textual information the newsletter offers you can read in within
The Bat! (which is BTW designed to display e-mails and textual information,
not complex HTML pages with funny colored elements).
