It wouldn't make much sense for him to have supplied a working
example, would it? :-) :-)
Well, he did say some worked and some didn't. I'd be inclined to
provide samples of both, for analysis.
Anyway, if you were to try view the mail in T-Bird you'd find it
to be
as originally described.
Don't have it installed, don't really like putting it on systems,
either. I just had a quick scroll through the raw message (kind of
hard, considering the rather huge content).
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 the cid:tAhk9iyMmm1CIfpU4g9p? Which is referring to image via
the "Content-ID"? I don't know what standard defines this, but it
seems clear that the HTML engine of T-Bird can't handle this.
Yes, I remember that kind of thing, of old. I remember that it would
flumux various emailers, back in my early days of using the internet.
Though I can't recall which specific mail clients.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying
to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
