HTML email never looks right, and I recommend not sending it! Send plain text! Email

was ever only meant for plain text. If you have a snazzy page to show your

recipients, *link* to it from the email.

It is probably a "remote image". IOW, you didn't embed the image into the email but

you link to it with HTML. This is deemed insecure as sneaky marketers or spammers can

tell if you received the email by simply checking their web server logs for a

specific image download.

I think this would be [NF], but am not concerned as the number of messages on

ProfoxTech seems pretty manageable these days...
