I have my signature as an html file and when i view it in IE it looks fine.
But when I transfer it to my windows mail the img src is empty. it just shows
src"" in the source code of the email and my image is just a blank box with
an x in the upper lefthand corner. What during the transfer from html file to
signature is making the image source path disappear?
 
What do you mean by "transfer it to windows mail"?
All you have to do is tell WM to use the html file.
Tools - Options - Signatures
New
(.) File
browse to where you stored the html file
OK

Note: the html file has to be 4K or smaller in size
 
Thats exactly what i mean when i say transfer. It goes from an html file to a
signature in your mail. somewhere along the way the img src "" is being
erased. i cant understand why. this is a copy of my html file.. notice the
src"http://www.lostinthoughtstudios.com/sig.gif"

it's the exact same except this time the src "" with nothing in between the
quotations. All I am doing is choosing the file from browse and applying it.
What is killing the image source?
