Question. Does the "name" parameter and the cid url serve the same
function as content disposition? I might be biased ;-) but I believe
the cid url provides more flexibility and control than the content
disposition.
Jacob's example makes it pretty clear that the cid url captures the
relationship between the document and the inline image. It's not
clear to me what the content-disposition would add since "inline" is
implicit in the cid url.

.... You might also want to use the content-disposition header to
make your html bodypart 'inline' and any subsidiary bodyparts (gifs,
sound) 'attachment' if you plan to reference them via content-id URNs
or similar mechanism.
