Yes it it. While the MIME specs (RFCs 2045-49) doesn't cover internal references, an early extension added the multipart/related content type (RFC 2387). Look up "Content-ID and Message-ID Uniform Resource Locators" (RFC 2392), with the corresponding mid: and cid: schemes. The latter enables you to refer to any MIME part. "MIME Encapsulation of Aggregate Documents, such as HTML (MHTML)" (RFC 2557) brought it all together. The examples can be instructive, for instance <http://www.zvon.org/tmRFC/RFC2557/Output/chapter9.html#sub5>. -- Jonny Axelsson, Web Standards, Opera Software
