Downloading graphics is UNACCEPTABLE.
Go back to the drawing board, and do not bother to propose any more 
"solutions" which have anything to do with graphics. See you in a few 
years.

My goal is to annihilate HTML mail. Or did you mean simply an "attached" file?
Even so, attached files may be stripped by some systems.
Or did you mean, say, an x-header with an HTTP URL in it?
Please describe your graphic-downloading idea, dead in the water though it be.
