How can I get WorkMail to display a data URL image in an email?

If I receive an email with an external image link in it <img src="example.com/img.jpg"> it doesn't load by default, and there is a message saying

Click here to download pictures. To help protect your privacy, WebMail prevented automatic download of some pictures in this message.

Clicking on the button for that message has the image appearing in the email.

However, if the image link is a data url and the image is encoded into the actual email body, then it is still blocked, and clicking the "download pictures" link doesn't get the image ever appearing. Even adding the sender to "safe senders" doesn't help.

How can I get WorkMail to display one of these data URL images?

A data URL for an image looks a bit like <img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgA........">

For example, a data URL for a PNG image of a small blue dot is below, and copying from data: to == and pasting it into your browser URL bar will show that image.

<img src="
data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAADIAAAAyCAIAAACRXR/mAAAACXBIWXMAAAsSAAALEgHS3X78AAAE
