      I've never noticed that option. I'll have to check it out.   
   Mostly I've only used the option for my own purposes and   
   not with large images. The HTML can get very clunky if   
   you're saving a bloated page with big images. So personally   
   I'd just save them in a folder if I want them. But sometimes   
   I write HTML for my own purposes and need images embedded.   
   For instance, I have a page to help identify garden trace   
   elements missing by looking at leaf irregularities. There are lots   
   of images, but they're all small, so it was a perfect use for   
   embedding.
