I can bring up the image by clicking on the thumbnail, but I don¡¯t know if that will give me any pertinent information. After I found the email with the three thumbnails below the text, I started wondering if all the images were done at the same time, in the same way, why didn¡¯t I get all three images instead of just one. Whatever that person did with his post couldn¡¯t be an isolated occurrence (Or could it be?), that they or no one else had not replicated in 18 years of posts. If the image was embedded into the email could that make a difference?

I think it tells me that that particular image, thinlite cover.JPG, was picked out by Yahoo! Groups and replaced with a link to it as an attached image file. This looks like code for a thumbnail of the image at the bottom of the message, and notably the thumbnail is an "http" style image, not itself an attachment. The thumbnail is still stored there:
Note, in this message the thumbnail is a "cid" image, I did that rather than "http" in case the image isn't available later.
So, no, from this particular code snippet I'd say we only saw a demonstration of what I expected: "http" images are not attachments.
You might have to have saved this message in your email folders to have it as a "pristine" example, unmodified by Yahoo Groups.
