Hello all,
Haven't posted on here in a while, forgot my old user name in fact.I have tried to set up in Outlook 2003 signatures for everyone in my company, but the logo will sometimes not appear on some people's email. There will be a blank space, and when you click on the blank space there is an outline as if the picture (logo) was selected, but it isn't visible. Also, whenever printing copies of emails, the picture appears as a blank box with the small red "x" box in the corner. I used the advanced editor (word) and tried inserting it also. One thing that may or may not be a problem is that I am trying to make sure everyone's signatures are uniform. So, I made a "template" as a word file and had everyone change the appropriate info and then copy and past it into the editor. The logo not showing up is a random thing. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. It never appears on printouts though. The logo is a jpeg file.
Any help anyone can provide would be sooooo very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!! Red.

I'm having EXACTLY the same problem. Please let me know if you've found any answers.
It seems to be a security issue and seems to be linked with the IE security settings. But, I'm not sure.

Well, I fixed one of my problems... sort of. I believe images get embedded into email signatures in Outlook using an outbind:// reference, which references something relative to that document. So, if your version of Outlook is using Word to edit HTML emails (and also to create signatures), then the outbind:// reference will only work if you also use Microsoft Word to edit/create emails. You can tell Outlook to use word as the email editor under Tools -> Options -> Mail Format (I think that was it)
However, this creates another problem. With a completely patched and updated version of Outlook, Outlook will warn you when you create a new message that some program is trying to access your email addresses. Of course, there is no risk as you told Outlook to use Word to edit your emails. So, it just creates another step in creating emails.
This seems to be related to some weird solutions to security with Outlook and also to some VERY weird choices in HTML editors and rendering that Microsoft made (including the fact that the newest version of Outlook uses WORD to render html... not IE!!!!)
I hope that helps. I'm not 100% sure about all of this, so let me know if I'm wrong about any of this or if you find another solution.

Funny, I have a buddy with the same initials, we call him TR.
Thanks for the response! That does make sense about the coding or association with word. I wonder how its done? I'll mess around with it and let you know if I discover something.
Thanks, Red.
