Whatever. Often images are replaced with the base 64 that generated them,
at a huge waste of paper. Web composers ALWAYS waste a page putting their
credits on a separate page etc. I once tried to print a web page that was
2 screens high, had to reboot to kill the job as it was then 10 pages of
base64 on the output tray. But in fairness to Brother, that was when I
was making one last attempt to use an Epson ink squirter, but at $100 to
refill it every 200 pages, I got religion and bought a laser, 2 of them in
fact.
I will lay this problem entirely on the web composers desk, he has no clue
about proper mimetyping. They don't care whether its rfc compliant or not
as long as it works with their particular copy of exploder on a windows
box.
