Hello whoever you are. I almost deleted your mail without reading it.
Your nickname "Amavis" is the name of a well known antivirus product.

I would highly recommend you use your _real name_ as there is a big chance
your mails are being ignored because they look too much like automated
responses from the aformentioned virus scanner.

All images or just some of them?

There is an existing bug report about Image Frames not being converted
correctly (doing so could lose a lot of position information but
obviously putting them in the wrong place is better than losing them
entirely)

I'm not sure, 2.4.5 is fairly recent and I dont think that has been fixed
yet.

Aha! See bug referenced above. HTML is the problem not Opendocument.

If you are a programmer patches welcome. Otherwise please help out by
filing bugs or providing sample documents for the other bug report.
