What is an INLINE_IMAGE_CID file?

INLINE_IMAGE_CID files mostly belong to Email Clients. *.INLINE_IMAGE_CID files are placeholders used by email clients to display images embedded within the email body. These files themselves do not contain the actual image data but rather a Content-ID (CID) reference that points to the image data located elsewhere, often within the email itself as a Base64 encoded attachment or fetched from an external server. When an email client encounters an *.INLINE_IMAGE_CID file, it uses the CID to locate and display the corresponding image. This mechanism allows for images to be seamlessly integrated into the email content without requiring separate attachments or external links. The *.INLINE_IMAGE_CID file format is not standardized and is primarily a convention used by email clients to manage inline images. The actual image data can be in various formats, such as PNG, JPEG, or GIF, and is encoded and embedded within the email structure. The *.INLINE_IMAGE_CID file acts as a pointer to this embedded image data, ensuring that the image is displayed correctly within the email body.
