is not registered with IANA.

It only appears for the media-types you register an icon for.
A problem will be if your messages with images are part of
a multipart type.  You can associate an icon with multipart types,
but then you do not know if the actual message really contains
an image.

FYI, you can have icons show in the converted message itself
by specifying the "useicon" mimearg to the external file filter.
