vm in conjunction with tm-vm does the same thing. It gives you a
button, in your mail, so that you can choose if you want to view the
picture. I have to say that xemacs 20.4 with mule and vm is great for
reading and writing multilingual mail. It gives you the .ANd, Nv, N| and N_
you need in German and of course the $BF|K\8l(B stuff. And you don`t even
need to use the mouse, if you don`t want to.
