Can someone explain to be best practices on how to get images to stick in Outlook email signatures?
I always thought all you needed to do was keep the image on your machine somewhere, point to it when you create your signature and voila it would work.
Now Im experiencing all sorts of odd problems:
Ive done the above, but the recipient just told me the image didnt come through (red x box instead).
Other times when it does work, it ceases to work further down the email trail turning to red x boxes again.
Does it matter if its a JPG or GIF? Is there something Im missing here.
I use Outlook 2007 (although Ive experienced this with 2003 as well) and we run an Exchange server.
I find that viewing emails sent using a sig sometimes gives back the dreaded redx but the recipient can see them just fine.
However, I tend to use href web based images rather than local ones.

Hmmm why didnt I think about putting the image on a web server. Lets see if that works :)
but remember that the recepients security level in outlook might not allow them to download images :)

That is the foolproof method :)

Red boxes typically occur when you are trying to take a picture out of an office file into another program. Its becuase office wont keep a picture in its native format it becomes a "scrap file"
Making a signature in outlook is simply the case of going into the appropriate options tab and creating the signature within an editor where you can paste your picture in, exchange makes no differece.
