Change the external link image to be defined in CSS, which IMHO is even better.

Description:
I agree that "->" is a better alt tag than "links outside of this site" for the little icon after external links, but "->" does nothing to tell the user what the icon means (a significant usability flaw).  Attached is a patch to change the alt tag to "(offsite link)", which will still look fine without images:

_Example link (offsite link)_
