It wouldn't make much sense for him to have supplied a working example, would 
it?  :-) :-)

Anyway, if you were to try view the mail in T-Bird you'd find it to be as 
originally described.

I had a bit more time to look at this in the evening and I can see what is being 
"expected" of T-Bird.  If you look at the MIME headers for the images you'd 
these headers as an example....

Content-Type: image/jpeg
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-ID: <tAhk9iyMmm1CIfpU4g9p>

The "key" being the Content-ID.

Then, in the text/html section of the message you'd find this sort of html 
snippet....

             <div class=3D"yiv3030508851ecxyiv7863957078MsoNormal" style=3D"=
BACKGROUND:white;"><span style=3D"FONT-SIZE:16pt;FONT-FAMILY:Arial, sans-se=
rif;COLOR:black;"><img id=3D"yiv3030508851ecxyiv7863957078_x0000_i1044" alt=
=3D"[]" src=3D"cid:tAhk9iyMmm1CIfpU4g9p"  width=3D"561" height=3D"405" data-=
id=3D"17bfaf0f-58fa-c795-9880-bde833a43cb7"></span>

Notice thecid:tAhk9iyMmm1CIfpU4g9p?  Which is referring to image via the 
"Content-ID"?  I don't know what standard defines this,
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2392
  but it seems clear that the HTML engine of T-Bird can't handle this.
Thunderbird generally can handle displaying images referenced via a cid URL. I often get mails containing images which are referenced this way and are displayed correctly. If you're viewing this post in HTML, you should see an image here (provided the list software hasn't stripped it) which is referenced via a cid URL:


Why this doesn't work in the provided sample mail, I don't know. Maybe (or maybe not) it's related to this:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61815

BTW: this mail is created using Thunderbird,

Sorry to say that I find this totally unhelpful and it does not address
the sample message I provided, which TB is unable to handle.
