See the MIMEFILTERS resource documentation.  There is a `useicon'
option to the m2h_external::filter filter that will leverage the ICONS
resource for displaying an icon along with the link.  An example
of clearing the default filter arguments and setting your own:

<MIMEArgs override>
m2h_external::filter; useicon inline
</MIMEArgs>
