        Content-Type: multipart/related; type=text/html; boundary=b

        --b
        Content-Type: text/html
        Content-Trasfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

        ... <IMG SRC=3D"cid:1"></IMG> ...
        ... <IMG SRC=3D"cid:2"></IMG> ...
        ... etc ...
        ... <IMG SRC=3D"cid:50"></IMG> ...

        --b
        Content-Type: image/gif
        Content-Id: <1>
        Content-Trasfer-Encoding: base64

        ...

        --b
        Content-Type: image/gif
        Content-Id: <2>
        Content-Trasfer-Encoding: base64

        ...

        --b

        ... etc ...

        --b
        Content-Type: image/gif
        Content-Id: <50>
        Content-Trasfer-Encoding: base64
