The reference after cid: refers to an image embedded in the email itself. The image arrives as part of the email rather than being pulled from a remote server. -----Original Message----- From: Spencer, Mark [mailto:mspencer () evidentdata com] Sent: Sunday, August 22, 2004 12:36 PM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Images being pulled in Outlook 2003 even though don't download pictures is set? I've been getting lots of spam with images being displayed, even though my Outlook 2003 is set to not download pictures automatically. Here's what I think is the relevant code (minus < and >): DIV align=center FONT face=Arial size=2 IMG src="cid:kfhyepds_bfjhwcxn_dkiaarqo" /FONT /DIV /BODY /HTML Any advice on how to deal with this? How does that "cid: .." translate into a legitimate IP address from which to pull an image?
