good point, for example as I recall gmail insists on displaying all
images at the bottom of an email message regardless of the placement of
their mime spec.  I wonder if it's possible for an html image link to
reference an attachment?

what does it look like (in the text WL buffer) when you attach say an
image, or a piece of inline text like a diff file?  If WL has it's own
mime markup like mml that would be ideal.

Because `org-export-as-html' requires that the buffer have a path, I
believe this is for resolution of relative paths for things like images.
