Summary:  Non-HTML data looking like URLs can be modified.

Original Submission:  Non-HTML tag data that matches image/auto-loaded 
attribute strings (e.g: src="...") can be modified during CID url resolution or 
URL rewriting during base href resolution within the mhtxthtml.pl filter.

A complete solution would require full HTML parsing, but this would incur a 
performance penalty. The current set of regular expressions are intended to 
deal with security issues but minimize any performance penalties. Unclear if 
existing html filter should be modified or a separate, more robust filter, can 
be created, and allow users to choose which one they want. Contributors welcome 
for developing a robust HTML filter.
