So nothing to worry about - great thank you.
Sorry but on google I saw !cid = html way of getting thru an email
handler also and so I just assumed it was bad news - thanks

That's simply an identifier generated by the email program that
generated the message, an identifier used to distinguish that particular
photo attachment so it can be referred to in the message body's HTML
code.

I searched google and it mentioned !cid - but I couldn't find "what
exactly is happening?"

I just got some spam from a neighbor that has gone to 100 or 150
people
before me in maybe 6 to: groups. I usually just delete but this one
was
so convoluted I stopped my network, scanned with NAV etc and kept
opening the email attachment to see how long it was.

Eventually I got to a patriotic photo and some text.
I right clicked on the photo (suspecting some spyware) to see its
properties and it shows:
!cid_007201c71d8b$d71dc2e0$1d96da18@jwhalen

and I'm wondering - what does that mean ?
When everyone opens it does it send something to jwhalen ?
any online pinters
Thanks
