Subject: Re: Replace image attachments with resized versions
I'm all for it, and that would be very acceptable, but how do I do that
automatically so that someone can just send out an HTML message with
images embedded into it and have after the server mangles the message
have it go out as a message stripped of all images and links put in
their place.

I do believe that this solutions, although possible, could be harder to
implement than just putting resized images back into place within the
message.

The really slick thing to do would be to only do this for local mail
mail delivery and to also keep track of the message itself so that you
could delete the detached attachment when the email is deleted, allowing
for multiple recipients of the message, but only storing one copy. If
course this would require IMAP, it would sorta fall apart under POP.
