 * Thank you author for having a look at an issue I was having with CID links appearing
   in my news.
 * Sadly, after the last update, there is still something funky going on there!
 * You can see on this staging site:

 * I have the settings to remove the first image and make it the featured image,
   but it is not being friendly to me!
 * Cheers

 * Since you are using HTML Postie can’t remove the first image as it is part of
   the message. You would have to switch to Plain, but you will lose the ability
   to format the text. Sorry this wasn’t clear. I’ll update the help text.

 * Thanks Author, I will have another crack at it tomorrow and see if we can work
   it another way – plain text may be fine for this site!
 * Again, thank you for your quick response!

 * I’ve set it to plain, and its still pulling up this CID thing?
 * If there was a way of getting a class to it I could simply hide it, but I can’t
   find anyway around it? Ive made sure the text is stripped of html?

 * And I just noticed that it is bringing in a bunch of = signs for some reason?

 * I forgot that Gmail adds the [cid:junk] to the plain text.
 * The equals signs tells me you have “Decode Quoted Printable Data” set to “No”
