I think the problem is that, by default, PmWiki interprets all "words" 
starting with http as links. The Images page says, "PmWiki supports .bmp 
images out of the box," and I can't imagine bmp being omitted.

You're not putting any brackets around the URL for the image, are you?

Try just the URL, without the alt text and caption. Those might be 
confusing it.

Is the target URL approved? If not, create a regular link to a file in 
the domain, save, and approve it. (IIRC, URLS are approved at the domain 
level.)
