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 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).
