; The MHT component can be used to convert an HTML page

; There are two ways of embedding images in emails: with CIDs
; and without.  When using CIDs, the IMG SRC attributes use
; urls that begin with "cid:" and the corresponding image
; embedded within the email includes a Content-ID header field.
; When not using CIDs, the IMG SRC attribute can have a URL,
; path, etc. and the corresponding image embedded within
; the email has a matching Content-Location header field.

; When testing with GMail, if CIDs are used the email will
; be displayed with images blocked (by default) unless
; the user allows them to be displayed.  Without CIDs,
; the images are automatically displayed.

; When testing with Eudora, Mozilla Thunderbird, and Outlook Express, 
; embedded images display correctly with our without CIDs.

; When testing with Yahoo! Mail, embedded images display OK.
; However, the Yahoo! Mail user has the option of blocking
; images.  If this is turned on, the CID images will still 
; display correctly even though images are blocked.  Why?
; It's because when viewing the email there is no external
; HTTP request to fetch an image.  Therefore, a spammer 
; cannot get an indication that you've read the email. 
; However, if CIDs are not used, the images are blocked by 
; any Yahoo! Mail user that has image blocking turned on --
; even though the images are embedded.

; I haven't tested Hotmail yet...
; Regardless, there is no perfect solution.  If CIDs are used,
; GMail users may block your embedded images, if CIDs are not
; used, Yahoo! Mail users may block your embedded images.

; I recommend setting using CIDs.  This is what Mozilla Thunderbird
; does by default, and it's the more clear an unambiguous way
; to indicate that images are indeed embedded.
