Are you referring to my code at;
http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/saveembeddedpictures.htm
CID refers to an embedded pictures so the VBA will save that picture.
The VBA code doesn't save pictures that are stored on a webserver. To do
that open the message in a browser.

Hello all. The link containing the VBA code was great for attached images.
Unfortunately, the author did not consider 'included' images.
These seem to be embedded through IMG SRC with "CID:" for its value (???).
Which is HTML but - help me out - because I do not have any idea how SMTP
stores the binary data (image) to access it so it can be stripped into a
file for saving (to jpeg). It does not have it linked. It is embedded
somewhere so that it is not an attachment AND it is not a linked image.
Here is helpful detail that may enlighten this seemingly new way of
putting images in emails. This is a .NET related question where FAQ
details HOW to implement embedding images this way. It just doesnt say how
to strip it from the email. But that is the reason for my post:

I know this is an older topic but it is too obscure to be posting
additional posts. I am looking for a way to, at least, get that binary
data image so I can save it to a new file. I am versed in VBA. Just need
some direction. Thanks
Just in case you want evidence, here is the 'image' html from the email
messages source:
