Nope.  Just didn't know it was there.  It's not in the manual (if I get
a chance, I'll try to write up a patch, or maybe someone else can); the
only thing I found on inline images was about export to HTML.  So then I
googled, and found the material on iimage only, not o-d-i-i.

Actually, having said that, on Aquamacs, o-d-i-i doesn't seem to work
well.  For reasons I'm too ignorant to explain, o-d-i-i causes the
images to flash repeatedly, instead of simply being displayed....
