Well I needed a break from writing requirements and I use commons-email, so I thought I'd chip in here.
This String is used to set the Content-ID header, which is specified in RFC 2392. (I love rfc-editor.org).
<blockquote> content-id = url-addr-spec <snip/> url-addr-spec = addr-spec ; URL encoding of RFC 822 addr-spec cid-url = "cid" ":" content-id </blockquote>
Well, I discovered that RFC 2822 (a proposed standard) obsoletes RFC822, but in my 5 minutes of reading they seemed to agree on what an addr-spec is: "addr-spec = local-part "@" domain ; global address". That's the one from 822, 2822 gets more complex with the local-part and the domain.
Anyway, it seems Just Plain Wrong to shove random characters in there, right? The examples in RFC2387 seem to be appending an @domain.com to the Content-ID's anyway. If I missed something obvious, my apologies. Today was the first time I looked at these RFCs.
I remember Noel and some others discussing a possible MIME library on this list recently; perhaps they have some input?

this can produce special html chars, which are hard to escape, wouldn't it be easier and safer to randomly get alphanumeric chars of say size 20 ?
