in thread pod and images

data:-URLs are nice, but they have limits: Old browsers and especially IE<7 can't handle them, IE<9 has some arbitary limits for the data URL length. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_URI_scheme for a good overview.

Base64 encoding can be done from the command line, as documented in MIME::Base64.
