Thanks for that information.  As I only implied, I don't know html.  :-)

Indeed, when you use "Insert" within T-Bird and use HTML in the body it does use the "cid:" format. 

So, without adequate knowledge it is impossible to determine where the fault lies.  I've seen this sort of problem before when different groups interpreted a standard slightly different.  One group confusing "should" with "must" and then not properly handling exceptions.
