Ive tried to use a relative reference to a local version of the .png file but although this works locally when drafting for some reason when i send the email the image dosnt get sent with. </p><p><strong>QUESTIONS"" </strong> </p><p>a) For some users the email footers, with remote images work fine when they are drafting email and when the email is received. For other users the email footer works and the remote image works fine when drafting but when the email is sent the remote image does not load. Any idea why this might be and how i can fix it&nbsp;? </p><p>b) I feel remote hosting the images may be over complicaiting things, instead i would prefer to have a local hosted image sent along with the email, ive tried to do this by referenceing a relative link from the HTML file to the IMG file, this works correctly when drafting the email, but when i send it the image does not get sent along with the email.
