Aside: images attached to text/plain messages will be displayed inline
for recipients if, when attaching, content-disposition is specified as
"inline".

Yes, please someone answer this.  Inquiring minds want to know.

Is there a convenient way to handle references in HTML to attached
images with outgoing mail in gnus?

If not, at least, is there a way in gnus to edit message headers and
mime part headers manually after an HTML file and its accompanying
images and style sheets have been attached (in the standard way) so
the whole SMTP object conforms with RFC 2557 (March 1999)?

Thanks.
