Why not send it as an Message/external-body, with an access-type a la
"anon-ftp" ? That way it looks like we only have to discuss the access-type, in
case we (?) choose for  URL-???? a message could like something like:

---------------------------start message----------------------------
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type; Message/external-body;
        name="portrait.gif";
        site="www.bar.com";
        access-type="URL-http";       // or anything else
        directory="~/ed";

Content-Type: application/octet-stream
-------------------------end message --------------------------------


with regards,

Ron
