Thanks for the fast & helpful response.  That seems to 
work as expected, more or less.

I find that I get the expected behavior -- capture of 
the HTML page plus all referenced images -- so long as 
I set Limits - Maximum Mirroring Depth to at least 2.  
However, when the Max Mirroring Depth is set to only 
1, I get only the HTML file, not the images it refers 
to.

My actual application calls for capturing a long list 
of pages (>10000, from as many distinct hosts!).  
Accordingly, I'm hesitant to set Mirroring Depth to 2 -
- as that dramatically increases the number of pages 
to be retreived and the duration of this task.

So, I think my questions are two:

1.) Am I right that Maximum Mirroring Depth must be 
set to 2 (or higher) in order for the specified 
procedure (custom Include/Exclude rule) to capture the 
expected pages?
2.) Is there any other way to do this, that also 
achieves my goal of efficient & fast operation?
