mime/w3/html/images/agent support

[Wes Hardaker <wjhardaker@ucdavis.edu>]

(and if that doesn't indicate a complex issue...)

Ok, (ha ha ha, solve this one Lars):

I finally got a text/html message (I was going to try and generate
one to mail myself figuring this issue would pop up, but I realized as 
I started the composition process that since dropping TM I could no
longer *write* mime messages...  (unless I missed something)).

Anyway, I figured this would happen:  you get a text/html part that is 
displayed with w3 (which is, simply *way* too cool) but it trys to
download the images.  This is a problem when you're in off-line agent
mode (like I was) and it brought by my ISDN connection (not a big
deal, but it shouldn't and would fail under many hand-dialed modem
cases).  Anyway, is there anyway to put w3 into an off-line mode
telling it to only look in its cache (if it has one, its been a while
since I've looked into it) that could be dependent on the
plugged/unplugged status of gnus?

To make matters worse (and I know this is a known .30 problem) the
URL buttons didn't work.  To make things *much* worse (and this
problem is unknown), I did that connection for no reason, as the gifs
appeared *blank* in my buffer.  Doesn't make any sense, since I used
netscape to verify the gif still existed on the web...
