...Work with message attachments

Why does Netscape display some attachments inline (viewed in the body of the message) while some must be opened from a link in a viewer?
Attachments sent with    Content-type: image/jpeg 
can be handled inline by Netscape.
Attachments sent with   Content-type: application/octet-stream 
can not be opened directly by Netscape, so they appear as an attachment link at the bottom of the message.

Conversation With Marc Andreessen, in this Wired Q&A Feb. 14, 2003 - "It's been 10 years since Marc Andreessen and colleagues at the University of Illinois launched Mosaic, the first browser to navigate the World Wide Web. But according to Andreessen, we're still less than halfway through the generational cycle of adoption that will shape how we ultimately incorporate the Internet into our daily lives." -
