The command line option should be:

    -embed C:\testimage.jpg


The CID: statement you show should be in your HTML message, using the same 
name as the file you are attempting to embed.

HTML capable email programs will recognize the cid: statement, look for 
named image file to be part of the received email, and render the image when 
it is available.
