Why attach graphic files?

Just include a  and when the
browser opens the HTML document, it will go out and find those files.  You
could write now send an HTML document with a  and get all of the
functionality you need.


If I sent you an attached HTML file with a , you could drag and
drop it on netscape and instantly be at my site.

Not as easy as your purposing, but still very easy.  It probably wouldn't
take much to write a script that would recognize an HTML attachment in
Eudora, launch the web browser and display the page -- with no other
attached files.
