Yes, I'm familiar with the "To protect your security...." bar that 
pops up for "normal" html pages where you can click "preferences" to 
display images, but for the base64 coded image pages that bar does not
appear.  Right-clicking has no "display" option.

No big deal.  I just wish the phone service would send a plain text 
email without cute pictures attached.   grrrrrrr.
