I can't vouch for the example you are talking about, but the messages I've received from PayPal use URL references for the images. Lest there be a misunderstanding...I'm not saying that PayPal is including links in its messages that end-users have to click on to view the images. I'm saying that the HTML of the message is constructed in such a way as to reference an image on a webserver when the message is rendered and displayed. Something like: <IMG src="http://www.paypal.com/images/paypal_logo.gif"; width=117 height=35 alt="PayPal" border="0" vspace=10> In the source of the message. When rendering the message the email client will make an HTTP (web) connection to the server www.paypal.com and retrieve the paypal_logo.gif image. -Remo Del Bello -- "Those who cast the votes decide nothing.
