If you want to pass the img parameter to the globalImage method, may be
able to use the following form:
    <dtml-var "globalImage(img='mail_png')">

In this form, the globalImage method does not get passed an object to
work on (this()) or the current REQUEST so a there will be a number of
operations you won't be able to do (eg. call PARENTS[1]) but it
shouldn't matter in this case. The alternative syntax would be:
    <dtml-var "globalImage(this(),REQUEST,img='mail_png')">
