After you create a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) signature file that contains an image file, the image may not be displayed, and an empty box with small red Xs may be displayed instead.
CAUSE
This issue can occur if Outlook Express cannot locate the source of the image to embed into the e-mail message.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use a text editor (such as Notepad) to edit the custom signature HTML file to add the full path information for the location of the graphic file before you send the e-mail. This is an example of code without path information:
<p align="left"><img src="test.gif" width="100" height="80">
This example HTML code refers to the Test.gif file. The image source information (img src), only lists the file name, but does not list the path to the files. In this example, you would alter the HTML code:
<p align="left"><img src="c:\test.gif" width="100" height="80">
With this alteration, Outlook Express should embed the graphic file into the e-mail message.
