And there's another way: Attachments with a 'Content-Location:' header (which can specify any kind of URI) get priority over the remote resource which would otherwise be fetched from the specified location.

But OTOH it would be easy to omit to implement this part of the MHTML spec and allow your mail client to fetch http: or ftp: URLs despite their being provided as attachments.
