I just mean something which would be displayed as an attachment by 
MailMate.

I'd probably say that something not referenced was more likely to be an 
attachment, but this just emphasizes that there is no standard 
definition. There is the “Content-Disposition” header, but this is 
just another hint in what has to be handled heuristically in an email 
client (like so many other things).

I don't. (The `cid` (Content-ID) usually doesn't exist if it's not also 
referenced.)

The main point was that I wanted to find out if the user had a hang with 
MailMate with a message which did not contain a (non-attachment) plain 
text body part.
