First off, thanks very much, Harm, for taking the time to review my issue and provide a detailed response, despite the complaint about images. I will work with it and see how it works out.
Now please forgive me for diverting from Lilypond-related matters to issues of the list etiquette. My issue is raised by this statement: > please: > DON'T POST INLINE-IMAGES! > Attach them! > I'm surely not alone with filtering them out. It provides an interesting conundrum. I use a Macintosh with the default client (Apple Mail) or a mobile device (iPhone) with the built-in mail client. With neither of those is there any distinction between in-line and attached images at all. In other words, short of changing my entire mail set up, I don't have any choice* but to post inline images. The best I could do is put images at the end of the message, but that doesn't address the issue you raise at all since they are still, even then, treated as inline images and it only changes the location within the message. (*OK, technically there is a kludge from the Terminal to change default behavior to not allow in-line viewing—on the Mac, but not, as far as I can tell, on the iPhone—, but it ends up disrupting normal function of the mail programs and would require quitting the program, changing the default in the terminal, and restarting the mail program just to deal with the list. Nor, as far as I can tell, would it fix the problem for someone else. I believe it only changes the display preference for me.) Given that, does anyone have any suggestions to how behave nicely for list members like Harm when images are involved? Sometimes graphics are needed, and from a user perspective being able to say "like this" is very useful. Surely if Harm is not alone in filtering them out, I am also not alone in using current mail clients that don't make the distinction Harm wants me to make. I'm surely not the only one for whom "DON'T POST INLINE-IMAGES! Attach them!” is a dictum that cannot be complied with because it is not a meaningful one in our software.
