Re: Image links don't work for others
Hi CubeSquare,It has nothing to do with Irfan View. A HTML email works very much like a web page: the HTML contains a reference to the images which is then downloaded and displayed in the e-mail. If the images is located on your computer only you will be able to see them.
To make it work you can one of two things:
1. You can upload the images to the internet and include the full url in your image reference:
<img src="http://www.myserver.com/image.png" />. When somebody opens the e-mail it would connect to the internet and download and display the image.
2 Or you can embed the images in the e-mail. A kind of hidden attachments. It's a bit more complex. Try to google "embed image in e-mail".
But be aware that most e-mail clients (including Gmail, Outlook etc) for security resons don't show images unless the user choose to allow it.
Also, be aware that it is quite difficult to create HTML e-mail that looks nice in all e-mail clients.
Good luck,

Re: Image links don't work for others
Ah, I see. I think you can do one of two things then:You do as described above: upload the images to the internet and include the full url in your image reference: <img src="http://www.myserver.com/image.png" />. When somebody opens the e-mail it would connect to the internet and download and display the image. Then you would only need to include the HTML-file in the e-mail. I would recommend this solution.
Or you could zip the folder with HTML-file and images before sending it. Then the recipient needs to un-zip the folder. This way you make sure the HTML-file and the images "stay together", I think.
Maybe somebody else has a better solution?

You have to upload those images on a server that is the best way.--
