If you intend to use MIME/multipart for the message body anyway, why
not allow for MIME:s external-body feature for providing such links?

I guess you mean for the body to use MIME format to allow multipart
messages. This thread was started as I suggested there are advantages
to always handle body parts as external binary files. (The primary
advantage being simplifed handling of partial message download for
clients on low bandwith connections.) Are there reasons to why you
would like to avoid that approach?
