SRC=CID: ???

[Mike B]

I like Outlook 2003's image blocking feature when viewing
html encoded messages. However, lately, I've been getting
images passing through this feature by specifying
SRC="CID:blahblah" in the IMG tag. What is CID: and how
does it work? Is there anyway to not display the image is
specifies? My guess is the emailer is embedding the image
source tag in the message body and CID somehow refers to
it.

Regards,

Mike

Outlook 2003 blocks pictures from the Internet which can be trackable.
Images that are embedded with the message are not trackable and therefore
save to view; no need for blocking those.
