Useful for server staff maybe, but not for players who simply want to embed images into their private messages though.

True ;f

Haha Linux pride!

Anyhoo, perhaps just filter out remote files > 2mb (screw BMPs) and to .jpg, .gif and .png.

You know, PM windows could be so much better. Going a little off topic, but I think PM's would be much better if they used something like BB Code along side a WYSIWYG or standard editor. The current features are pretty hidden, and not everyone knows you can embed images, but why? There probably should be a smileys menu instead of relying on going to the forums, and there should be a list of features somewhere.

Hmm.. heres a quick example mockup..
