cid:[email protected]

[jbrown78]

I have been receiving messages that have links like this:
cid:[email protected]

The context of the messages suggest that these are pictures but they are not
displayed and when I click on the link it opens a new message in outlook as
if I had clicked on "Reply". they are all consistent with the above
referenced example as they all start with cid:X followed by an alphanumeric
ending in @aol.com.

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you or the sender using AOL? cid usually means picture. Are you scanning
your mail with an virus scanner? That could be causing issues, or its just
something goofy with AOL.

This particular email didn't come from an aol address however, it has been
forwarded so there is a possibility that it originated or somewhere along the
line was forwarded by someone with an AOL address.

I do use McAffee. do you have any suggestions on how to veiw these pictures.

This happens frequently. Many Thanks!

It sounds like the message was corrupted and the images lost. The CID
should link to an image included with the message.

CID: is an internal bookmark outlook uses for embedded pictures so the
behavior when you click the link is to be expected, when the image is
missing or the message corrupt.

Not just OL, but any mail client embedding attachments.
