Duplicate Convert linked embedded images in posts to attachments

[AndyB]

I would like to see an option in Admin CP that when enabled will convert linked images (those links with the IMG tag) to attachments. This function would run when a post is submitted.

This is a very important function because linked images will eventually go dead and that ruins the thread content.

If you want this feature to be part of the core, Like this post.

Thank you.

Do you mean for embedded images from other sites to be automatically uploaded as an attachment?
