I was struggeling with embedding an image in an html mail body. The picture was attached however it didn't show up in Outlook.
The issue was caused by the sender address which was something like 'AnyFancyName email@address.com'. To be precise the issue is caused by the '>' at the end of the string which survives with your current split logic and causes the cid to have two '>' characters at the end.
I would suggest to use parseaddr function from email.utils to get the raw email address from the msg['from'] field.
