Could someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

I'm trying to send an HTML newsletter. It's all there except for the photos. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? There are boxes there, but no photos. The graphics are showing up fine. Is there a trick that I'm missing?

    the thing is, emails also check the photos src tag value from the internet. and when you send your newsletter, the src's value probably points to your local drive/folder (i.e Drive C:\temp\images). One way to resolve this is to upload your photo in a public photo storage such as myspace, photobucket etc.. And use the images URL in your newsletter's <img src> tag..That way, whenever they view your html newsletter, the images are retrieved from the internet.

    Hope this helps

    Well, not much info, but here are some things you can look at: Try doing a right click on the box not showing the photos and go to properties, do the same with the images that do show, compare them and see what if you can find the problem there by checking the paths where the images/photos are located.

    Are you pointing to where the photo's are on your web server such as with this tag.

    <img src="path to the image"/>

    if you could post that section of your code in your added details it would be helpful

    If so you might also want to check that you're giving the file name with the right type of image extention such as .jpg or .gif. If it's wrong it will show that box.

    Make sure you're referencing the photos properly and that the html points to the right location which should be something like:

    <IMG SRC="http://www.yourwebsite.com/Images/Imag1.jpg%22%3E

    It has to point to somewhere on the internet where your photos are located.
