How are you displaying the contents of the message? You're going to have to do something so that URLs of the form "cid:" are able to be resolved to the attachments in the message. If you're displaying the message contents in a web browser, you'll probably want to process the message text and convert the cid: references into a file: or http: reference and make sure the attachment data is available at that URL.
