Normal kmail generated email msg, inserting a jpeg or png in the middle 
of whats basically a text msg doesn't work, only gets about 6 blank 
squares in the src text, and which do not make it thru the malling list 
in the returning echo from the listserver, whereas an attached .jpeg 
does.  But then there is no way to caption the individual image.

Agreed. It should have an assigned Excedrin headache number. :)  But in a 
text msg, isn't that what a mime boundary trigger and its following mime 
command is supposed to do???  Thats not nearly so ugly, and its a long 
time, very well defined protocol...
