If you receive proper HTML that has a distinction between structure and layout the images for formatting will only be referenced from the CSS and the images for content will be referenced from the HTML. If you do not receive proper HTML there is no way to distinguish between images embedded for structure and images embedded for layout. But you can still distinguish between embedded and attached images, the one is multipart/related and the other multipart/mixed. > E-mails could be coming in from a variety of different users and different > e-mail clients.

Aren't all images attachments and aren't all attachments relevant?
