In terms of standards, this would roughly equate to
message/external-body support (with some automation to upload to a
hosting site) -- see RFC 2046 §5.2.3. I believe libmime already has
some support for message/external-body.<br>
<br>
Another possible implementation would be to fully support
message/partial (RFC 2046 §5.2.2). I have heard that Outlook
supports this already, but some recent searching appears to indicate
that some MTAs may be blocking it for "security" reasons.<br>
