What context are we talking here?  The attachment button with the
ability to expand it inline, or just a html page with such an image
inside of it?

I can absolutely state that the former case could never have worked -
the code has a limited set of completely hard-coded image types and
image/pjpeg isn't one of them ...  (its hard-coded not merely to be
simpler, it provides some security control too).

And if its the latter case, then its probably some image library
changes.

What mail clients are sending out this crap anyway, maybe they need a
kick up the arse to fix their code ...
