Is Microsoft ever going to support inline attachments in Exchange? Seriously. This has been a feature in email for 15 years. The latest update to Exchange 2010 still does not include support for inline attachments.

So what happens when I send an inline image via email to someone with an email hosted on an exchange server?

Generally the message gets sliced and diced, with sometimes "unpredictable" results. Usually, Exchange Server simply rebuilds the message as text (you often lose formatting) with a separate attachment.

isn't an inline attachment basically just an all text message anyway? Wouldn't that just pass righty through a server unmodified?

That would depend on how the attachment was encoded. If Exchange Server intercepts the attachments by their encoding tags then it would not matter how "in line" the pseudo text of the encoded attachment was...
But remember, attachments are badzorss!!11!!! For Windows, anyway. So MS made Server aggressive about "protecting" corporate users from the scourge of email attachments!
