I am having a problem with the quality of a picture within a users signature.
The picture is linked to a web location with code similar to this:
<img src="http://www.domain.com/pictures/picture.jpg"> and looks good on the
users workstation. I resize the image box in advanced editor using word 2003
and all is ok.

The problem occurs when the recipient recieves the email the signature is
intact but the quality of the picture is significantly reduced. I tried the
exact same thing from my workstation and when i reduce the image size in word
2003 the pictures quality is excellent on my workstation and at the
recipients end.

Does anyone know a reason why this problem would be occuring?

Thanks
 
Could be on how the client of the recipient renders the image. What does the
HTML look like? Does it uses the width and height tags? Instead of resizing
it by using HTML why don't you resize/resample the original on the webserver
to the size you need? This will also reduce the amount of KB to be
downloaded.

Thankyou for your help Robert but I am still having an issue even after the
image has been resized on the server end. I could not get the formatting
right with Office 2000 Pro as it was double spacing between lines etc so i
installed a trial version of Word 2003 and found that this works excellent,
after however I copy the html code from the workstation with word 2003 to a
workstation with word 2000 I now get a small empty box at the very top of the
signature (this can be deleted by the user each time but is annoying) and it
seems to still want to attach something in the email even though the image is
pointing to a web location. (these things only happen on the workstations
without word 2003)

Any ideas would be appreciated as the only solution I can see is upgrading
to Word 2003 and is not justified just to fix this issue.

Thanks
 
The HMTL generated by Word 203 is not fully backwards compatible (99% sure
on that). Just get rid of Word as an HTML editor and enter the tags in
something like Notepad, FrontPage or the free HTMLed. This will make you get
rid of a lot of garbage HTML.
