Image (Company Logo) in HTML Signature (Office 07)

[Jamie Carnon]

Hi,

I have created a HTML signature in Outlook 07 and edited it further in
Expressions Web. I wanted to add the company logo so I inserted an
image from my workstation. Stored locally on the Crive. Great!

When I go to compose a new e-mail the image is there no probs, but as
soon as it is sent it disappears.

My guess is that as soon as the e-mail leaves my outbox the signature
can no longer find the image. What are the way arounds this? I assumed
that the image would embed itself in the html file and not require a
permanent path to the original file?

Can anyone help please.

Jamie

All depends on how you linked to the logo in your signature. You should use
relative paths instead of absolute paths.

Hi,

Would you care to explain the difference ?

Thanks

A relative path uses the location of the file calling another file as the
base location like;
subfolder\image.jpg

An absolute path is a full path to the file to include like;
C:\foldername\subfolder\image.jpg

All depends on how you linked to the logo in your signature. You should
use
relative paths instead of absolute paths.

Actually, if you want it to be seen by everyone you send email to, you
should have it as an absolute path, but to a public website where the
image is located as an image tag... i.e. http://www.yoursite.com/images/myimage.jpg

That would exclude the people who would block external items so that still
wouldn't be everyone ;-)
