Public bug reported:

In a public forum (such as the mahara community forum), posts are
readable when users are not logged in. However, any files attached to a
post are only available when logged in.

As a result, you can only see images posted inline in a forum post when
logged in. This also affects users receiving posts in e-mail, and
through RSS feeds.

Arguably, if a user receives e-mail updates for forum posts, then this
requires a separate resolution since not all groups are public groups.
If a user is in a non-public group and receives e-mail alerts for a
forum post with an inline image, then we should probably re-write the
location of the image and include it as an attachment to the e-mail.
