"Back to the inlined image thread again -- I'm getting
close to releasing Mosaic v0.10, which will support
inlined GIF and XBM images/bitmaps, as mentioned

-- Marc Andreessen (Fri, 12 Mar 93)
XBM file support had been removed in Internet Explorer 6 (IE 1-6 is based on Mosaic code, see IE6 about dialog): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBM
