[Most modern softwares | _always_ put attachments at the end, perhaps putting a _link_ (often | "cid:") in the body if they want to make it _appear_ that the attachment | isn't at the end.] You're describing the two versions of the same thing: Inline and attachment. If the recipient doesn't enable Nope. What I mean is that if I place an image (or any other attachment) _in the middle of an email/post_, and examine the raw text of my email, then it had the (UU or Mime/64) block _in the middle of the email_, i. e. the text after the attachment actually _is_ after the attachment. If you drop me an email with your email, I'll send you and example. (Can't post one as this is a text-only 'group.) HTML email then they should see an inline image as an attachment. Otherwise they'll see it where you put it in the message. Both are base64-encoded text sections in the email. There's no difference in that. Nope: nothing to do with HTML. If I send a truly inline image, _in the middle of an email/post_, most other clients will see the image _and the text that follows it_ as two attachments. As you noted, the "cid:" ID will point to a Content-ID in another content section to specify the image that should be rendered. If it's meant to be an attachment it will have Content-Disposition: attachment. That's all specified in the MIME standard. I'm not aware of any other formats in use for email. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME Maybe 30 years ago old guys like you and Fred Flinstone sent uuencoded pictures. I _think_ that's a separate matter, of how attachments (including pictures) are encoded (UU or Mime/64). 3 -- J. P. Gilliver.
