Any reason why they can't send them as attachments? One might as well
argue that the mail client should be able to display Acrobat files.

I definitely don't want my mail client expanding inline <img> tags
without my permission. These are commonly used to hide side effects,
such as "web bugs". (See http://www.privacyfoundation.org/resources/
for lots of info about web bugs.)
