RE: Images being pulled in Outlook 2003 even though don't download pictures is set?

The reference after cid: refers to an image embedded in the email itself.
The image arrives as part of the email rather than being pulled from a remote
server.

Subject: Images being pulled in Outlook 2003 even though don't download
pictures is set?

I've been getting lots of spam with images being displayed, even though my
Outlook 2003 is set to not download pictures automatically.  Here's what I
think is the relevant code (minus < and >):

DIV align=center
FONT face=Arial size=2
IMG src="cid:kfhyepds_bfjhwcxn_dkiaarqo"
/FONT
/DIV
/BODY
/HTML

Any advice on how to deal with this?  How does that "cid: .." translate into
a legitimate IP address from which to pull an image?

Thanks!
