Re: Multipart/Alternate and TEXT/HTML in e-mail

Using content-disposition is much less appealing when the original
HTML document contains relative URLs. In that case, the refering
element originally (the text/html part) refers to the image using a
name that is not valid when the element is taken out of context..

Would you rather have the following? I don't like using 'filename' in
the content-disposition, since it isn't a file name, but a URI.
I could imagine using "href" or "url", though:

================================================================
1 Content-type: Multipart/Alternative

1.1   Content-Type: Text/plain
      Content-Description: plain text version for those who
        cannot read HTML

1.2   Content-type: Multipart/Related; type=Text/HTML

1.2.1   Content-Type: Text/HTML
        Content-Description: HTML version of the same message,
          which may contain external file references

        <IMG SRC="../images/picture.GIF">

1.2.2   Content-Type: Image/GIF
        Content-Description: the GIF picture
        Content-Disposition: INLINE;
          href="../images/picture.GIF"
