Lars talked about "inline media tests" having recently changed, and I
was thinking about this.  But I guess this must mean that there is now
a difference in `mm-image-fit-p' or something similar, instead of some
sort of basic change in the logic used for decoding/displaying MIME
attachments.  I erroneously assumed from Lars' words that there *had*
been such a basic change, since I could swear that I had no trouble
firing off as many external viewers as I wanted in earlier `pgnus'
versions, not to mention viewing the inline images without any
crashes.  But perhaps I'm mistaken ... ???
