image/jpeg is viewed externally?!?

[Karl Kleinpaste]

Is there some sort of image size boundary, beyond which p0.54 decides
to invoke xv(1) for viewing, rather than doing so inline in XEmacs?

I've been sending myself a bunch of test messages, using `C-c C-a'
just to try it out.  If I send myself a copy of the miniature rms.jpg
image Lars has been using in the MIME tests, that displays fine.  If I
send myself a random image that fits comfortably within the display
limits of my *Article* buffer, that too displays fine.

But if I send myself a 517x768 image/jpeg, Gnus spawns xv(1) for it.
I'm not hallucinating, honest -- from my *Message-Log* buffer:

	Generating summary...done
	Viewing with xv %s
	Displaying xv /tmp/emm.a20268/mm.a20268...

I expected the image to be displayed directly, as other images had
been.  What are the conditions under which xv is preferred over direct
display by XEmacs?

If the image is wider or higher than the article buffer, it's
displayed externally.  The checks are in the `mm-inline-media-tests'
variable.
