RFC2111 Content-ID and Message-ID Uniform Resource Locators
Abstract
The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) schemes, "cid:" and "mid:" allow
references to messages and the body parts of messages. For example,
within a single multipart message, one HTML body part might include
embedded references to other parts of the same message.

So what part of the message does this refer to?

if you're referring to the specific cid above you have to look at the
email source to see what that particular cid refers to.

please don't toppost, it upsets the little voices

How am I supposed to post my replies in a newsgroup?:

.... was obsoleted by RFC 2392 in August 1998.

Hint: Use http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcsearch.html to find RFCs.
It will tell you whether an RFC has been obsoleted by a newer RFC,
as well as refer to eventual errata.

Probably attempts to infect your computer with a virus, worm, or
trojan-horse program, or pop up a spam message, or something equally
annoying and/or dangerous. Any situation where a message presents a
link to one address while displaying a different one as the link text
is almost certainly some sort of sinister attempt to mislead the user.
The use of the "iframe" element in an HTML-format e-mail message is
also almost always connected with malware.

However, as others have noted, the cid URI scheme has legitimate use
in referring to items attached to a message. I discuss this more in
my site:

I am fairly certain this is a virus. I'm just wondering about the
mechanics of it. Where in the email is the viral code that is launched
when the 'link' is clicked?
