So the main part of that change node is where it sets up the attachment...

JSONata...

```auto
[{
 "filename": 'cam_' & $replace($now(),":","_") & '.jpg', 
 "content": $$.payload,
 "cid": "" & cid & ""
}]

```

Does the `msg` going into this change node have a property `msg.cid` and is the image buffer in `msg.payload`?
