Hello:
Today I received an HTML attachment in a spam message that
contained among other garbage the following line:
img src="cid:52430,[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; width="241" height="91"
When I clicked on the attachment my machine got hung up in an
endless "verifying images" loop. I had to do a cold reboot to
get out of it.
What is this "cid" tag, and why is it used, and why does it cause
Arachne to go haywire? Also what kind of image source address is
this that looks most strangely as though it were an email address,
except that there could be no such domain name as "logomail1.gif" ?
BTW, You can't always blame the "verifying images" loop on
JavaScript. This HTML attachment contained no JavaScript.
I wish there were some way to fix this "verifying images" loop.
