Replace image attachments with resized versions

[Brian Cluff]

That involves actually doing something besides just sending an email. 
This person is totally unreasonable and doesn't want to learn or do 
anything else (nightmare customer).  I would prefer that they did it 
that way, and have even offered up that solution, but they won't hear 
anything of it.

A solution that automatically detached any images and then replaced them 
with links would be acceptable too, but unfortunately if it requires 
even the slightest bit of effort they don't even try it.

I'm guessing that in the end I'm going to have to fire this particular 
customer in order to save my sanity and wallet.
