Description mitch 2002-12-12 09:36:03 UTC 
I received an email containing ONLY this single img tag:

SPAM: WEB_BUGS           (0.6 points)  BODY: Image tag with an ID code to 
identify you

<A =
href=3D"mms://audio.teamfreestore.com/greg.wma"><IMG=20
alt=3D"Click Here" height=3D37 =
src=3D"cid:000a01c2a19a$d45f0df0$0bde4318@teamwork"=20
width=3D41> </A>

This is NOT such a case though - when outlook embeds images in a message as 
attachments, they are prefixed cid:[SOME STRING]. This is such a case, and not 
a web_bug - but was detected as such.

We need a complete message, headers and body, to debug problems like this
one.  Please attach a complete example using the "Attachment" link on this
bug page -- do not cut-and-paste it.

some improvements I made to web_bugs a while ago fix this false match
(checked into 2.50 CVS)
