Hi Dave --
Thanks for your response! Had a couple questions:
1. On my 6.1.6 instance, I added "data:" (less the quotes) to the img-
src directive but the images still don't display. Is it enough to
change that directive to get existing base64 images to display?
2. Can your proposed 60k byte limit be configurable? Many of our
images are larger than that in base64.
Best,
Richard
