When sending emails with a signature that contains an
image (a company logo), occasionally the image will be
received as an attachment instead of part of the
signature. My question; is there a way to insure on the
sending end that this will not happen? Evidently there is,
but I have not had any luck figuring it out.
 
It all depends on the receivers setup. If they have their
system set to receive all messages as Plain Text (as an example)
then you cannot control that and they will not see your
HTML message the way you intended.

G'Day,

I am having a similar problem, in that emails sent with graphic file
in the signature or stationary are not being received properly.

The images are embedded in the document, but up to 5 copies of eac
image are attached as well. If there are several images in th
signature, genuine attachments are hard to find in this group o
attached images.

This is a sporadic problem, which mostly appears when an emai
containing a signature (or stationary) with images is forwarded.

Email is sent in HTML format, using Word as the default editor wit
OL2002, and the problem has appeared when the recipient is an interna
OL2002 client configured to receive HTML email intact.

One exception I have found is that (due to a questionable method o
designing the template) some of the images embedded in a particula
stationary have a public web URL as their sourc
(http://www.domain.com/images/etc). If Outlook is NOT set to downloa
pictures from the internet, they appear in the message as intended, an
are not attached to the email (This is not an acceptable solutio
however).

These templates in question have all been developed for my organisatio
by a third party company, and most HTML signatures developed by user
in-house work as they should. Is there a way of inserting the imag
into the template (using the <IMG> tag) that ensures that the imag
will be embedded when the message is sent (absolute paths, relativ
paths, etc.)?
