yes I know, but it could be a "placebo" :-P .. we are using the elog in a lan so it
could be a good temporary solution ...

can you point me to some documentation I can read to be able to do it? should I edit
the css file ?

yes, of course...

can be usefull to be able to "optionally" execute some external program (a sort of
pipe) in order to be (eventually) able to set a "filter program" for attachments.
The same way an MTA does with procmail I mean.

in this case one has to be able to access both to the original image and the
processed one...
