I agree. In this case Content-ID's could provide a unique reference
identifier in the URI.

  Using MIME multipart/related allows for the URI to reference another

boundaries between addressable portions be clearly marked within a message -
HTTP and SMTP both have that when they use MIME multipart syntax.
