if you do it the MIME way, this is not a problem. look for
message/external-body in RFC 2046 and RFC 4289. at least my mail
reader, Evolution, handles this fine, and I know Gnus does, too. there
is one problem, though -- no one has registered an access type for HTTP!
in this case, FTP may be just as good anyway, since you will probably
want login credentials.
