I'm generating emails in a PHP application which attach multiple files to an HTML email. Some of the files are Excel spreadsheets, some of the files are company logos which need to be embedded in the HTML so they load by default using Content-ID and cid identifiers to refer to the attached images.
As far as I can see, my syntax is correct, but the images don't ever load inline (they are attached successfully, however).

Can anybody see an obvious reason why the image won't embed as expected?
EDIT
Note this behaviour isn't general to all email clients. So far only noted in Thunderbird.
