not much changed between 1.4.0 and 1.4.3 in the mailer, and I just went
over the ChangeLog and nothing could have possibly affected this.

also... I am 100% certain that Evolution never ever handled image/pjpeg
because as NotZed said, the image types we handle is hard-coded and that
list has been the same since the 1.0 days.

also, unless image/pjpeg is identical in format to image/jpeg (and if it
is identical, why the different mime type?), then gdk-pixbuf (part of
Gtk+) doesn't even handle image/pjpeg anyway, so it would be impossible
for us to support it.
