You are familiar with URL's that contain a protocol identifier (http:, ftp:) followed by a host identifier (trilug.org, ftp.ics.uci.edu) followed by an object reference (index.html, pub/ietf/uri/rfc2111.txt).
Think of "cid" and "mid:"; as being the URL way to point to an object contained within the same MIME-encoded message. I'd offer an example, but I refuse on principle to create a MIME- encoded message. It tells the HTML-interpreter (which the would-be mark is using to read his mail...not that any of us would ever do that...) where to find the object it needs to correctly render the HTML page. I presume that if said HTML-interpreter also has a tendency to execute objects it believes to be executable, such a construct could be used to cause the execution of code within the local context. Any better? I swear it's all English... -----Original Message----- From: Turnpike Man <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Even after reading, can someone put that in english? thanks! > David M. -- Steve Holton [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
