[Building Sakai] Images in emails sent to a site

[Daniel Merino]

Hi, Steve.

We have had lots of complaints about this issue since a long time ago, 
but it seems that it won't be fixed: 
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-1210

IMHO, parseParts function at SakaiMailet.java should be configurable for 
each site to enable/disable attachments.

In the end, we tell all our users to use Private Messages with email cc 
always that they need to send an HTML mail with images. It would be far 
easier to use Mail Archive to do this if it were supported, but it is not.

Best regards.
