How Can Outlook be Linked to a Web Image?

I am trying to send an email through Outlook that links to an image (a 1KB
html file) on a Web site. To make the link, I went to Insert > Picture. In
the Picture dialog box, I pasted the image’s correct URL in the Picture
Source field, and clicked OK. The image does not appear in the message body.

To try to resolve the problem, I made changes in Outlook’s Security
settings. In Options > Security, I opened Change Automatic Download Settings,
and deselected 1) “Don’t download pictures automatically in HTML email,” and
2) “Warn me before downloading content…”

In Preferences > Junk Email, I deselected “Don’t turn on links in messages…”
As a precaution, I added my email address and the Web site being used to the
Safe Senders and Safe Recipients lists. I also lowered the Security Level
under Zone Settings.

None of these changes made a difference. The linked image still does not
appear. I have confirmed that the URL is correct; the image opens when I go
to it directly in IE. Am I missing a step? What else do I need to do in
Outlook to enable the link?

Thank you.

Seems to me you posted this in another newsgroup as well. Crosspost if you
must, but please don't multipost.

Mr. Tillman:

When I do not receive a response after a reasonable amount of time (say,
more than three weeks), I post the inquiry again in the event that someone
will see the message now who was not previously available. I realize that no
one is here all the time, and that I need to try again when necessary. Since
I require this information for my business, I simply use this service, with
moderation, to seek an answer as I would any other resource. Since Outlook
Help and other sources haven't provided an answer, I need to keep looking
until I find it.

As an Outlook MVP, can you answer my inquiry, or direct me to a source that
can?

Thank you.
