Another thing about this "feature" that is definitely bad: a sender
can copy the cid reference from one message to another and get the
image rendered like this:
This is true for any attachment in any message with a `Content-ID`
assigned to a body part. The `Content-ID` is (should be) unique and
therefore you cannot reference anything you don't already know. MailMate
might make this easier, but I don't see that it is any different than
what is already possible?
I could, of course, offer an option for forbidding cross-message `cid:`
references.
(If I remember correctly, in the case of identical content ids MailMate
prioritizes the one in the same message as the reference, but I haven't
verified this. If not, this could be a security problem.)
(I am also uneasy about the whole concept of rendering markup in
text/plain parts on principle, but I expect
that's an unwinnable argument)
I would certainly have preferred that the markup for inline images was
more “natural” like the rest of the Markdown markup. I chose
Markdown because it generally looks just like plain text (and because it
is already based on email syntax).
