Title: image not showing up in HTML message
Post by: p_elam on June 24, 2004, 08:16:50 am
Hi -- new ListMail owner here.

I have been sending test messages for an email newsletter. I designed a simple newsletter template in MS Frontpage 2002 & copied & pasted the HTML code into the HTML blank field on the ListMail "send email" form for that newsletter/list. The jpg logo for the newsletter had already been uploaded to my website for an earlier trial at sending out the HTML template via a free group mailing program, and the logo did show up in that email tryout (on AOL, too, once I enabled graphics on that account).

When I send the HTML message out via ListMail, though, the logo does not show up in the body of the message -- instead, there's a blank rectangle with the text label of the jpg and an X. When I click on the X I am taken to a page showing just the logo.

I thought images would display in the HTML message if the image was on a server and the HTML pointed to it? That worked in the test mailout using another program. Is there some other way I need to handle this in ListMail? (Of course, it's also possible I coded the reference to the jpg wrong....but I did double-check to make sure.)

Here's a link to the HTML template uploaded on my website. In the ListMail form, I've added the Remove link.

Any help or suggestions are appreciated. FYI, I'm not a professional webmaster/programmer (I paid the affiliate whose link I used to purchase ListMail to install the program for me.)

Thanks,

Peggy

P.S. FYI, my webhost is ipowerweb and they use cpanel, if that makes any difference.

You should be able to include images in your HTML but you must make sure to use the full URL to the image, ie:

<img src=http://site.com/images/image.jpg>
