Its not worth it. Most of those forwarded messages are not funny in the
first place.

I know. I get tons of them from people with a sense of humor that isn't
quite their own. I'd be thankful they didn't display in some circumstances.

The sending program did screw up the HTML code.

The little boxes you saw with the 3 colored objects and the image name
are caused by the

IMG alt=184acf.gif

tags. There are 10 of those scatter in the message. They are all
missing the actual SRC field specifying the actual image file. So
somewhere along the way, the images got lost.

At the bottom of the message are 10 tags such as

IMG SRC="CID:{35C0E555-BFFB-45B0-A889-139B99CA1A08}/ATT1423665.gif"

That's a suitable syntax provided that at the bottom of the message are
the encoded images with matching Content-ID along the lines of

------=_NextPart_xxxx
Content-Type: image/gif;
name="ATT1423665"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-ID: {35C0E555-BFFB-45B0-A889-139B99CA1A08}/ATT1423665.gif

fkdsljflkdsfjl;ksdjf;lksjl;kjfhgjI
.... the rest of the encoded attachment.

In that case, the 10 images should have been displayed at the bottom of
the message. However, if the encoded attachments are missing, or the IMG
SRC CID doesn't match the Content-ID:, then you'd get just the little box
with the red X in it.

Thanks for your input - I've got myself a nice little 'jigsaw puzzle' to
try and match the text with the images! One for a rainy day - if only it
would rain around here.
