Hmmm.  My first thought on this is that most people who want to lose the
images don't want anything to do with the Javascript either.

But you need the Javascript.  I don't know of any existing scripts to
do this.  You could poke around freshmeat.net et al., but I dunno that
you'd find anything.

I guess you'd get the page, s/// out the <IMG> tags, and send out the
new page.  Or substitute them with a one-blank-pixel.gif type of link?

No doubt this is a naive approach, forgetting many oopsies.
But maybe someone has done this and can correct me . . . ?
