For what it's worth, I'm strongly opposed to the notion that a mail recipient might put some part of a mail message into a web cache. A cache is a cache. A mail recipient interpreting a multipart message might treat included parts with a disposition URI as surrogates for the named parts FOR THE CONTEXT OF THAT MESSAGE, but in lieu of a stronger security context, interaction with the web browser's cache is a bad idea.
